Aggressive Criminal Law Firm that Protects Your Future

The law office of Shawn R. Dominy, Attorney at Law, is known to many college and university students in central Ohio. I have been helping students protect their student eligibility and criminal record for years. My defense strategies include working hard to dismiss or reduce your charges so that they will not include jail time or affect your standing at your school. I have successfully handled a large number of cases for students who have been charged with DUI and a wide variety of criminal offenses.

For drug possession charges, keeping you out of jail is my top priority, along with protecting your school and financial aid eligibility. I will fight to get you assigned to a program that eliminates the conviction from your record.

Whether you face a charge for a traffic offense, a misdemeanor, or a serious felony, I will fight to keep you eligible for school and financial aid, and keep your record clean. I offer a free initial consultation, and I accept Visa and MasterCard. Most importantly, I never forget that you are a young adult, probably on your own for the first time in your life. My job is to represent you, not judge your actions. I will explain exactly what your legal options are and examine your school's code of conduct to keep you eligible for student status.

I offer effective defense representation for college offenses such as:

• Underage drinking
• OVI / DUI defense
• Drug charges, paraphernalia
• Disorderly conduct
• Sexual assault, sex crimes
• Shoplifting, robbery, identity theft
