DUI/DWI
If you have been accused of Operating a Vehicle under the Influence (OVI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI), it is likely that you are accused of violating Ohio's driving laws. In the state of Ohio, driving a vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level of 0.08% or higher could lead to a DUI or OVI conviction. For some individuals, that is just a few drinks in the matter of a few hours.
Traffic Violations
Reasonable suspicion – Whether officers had enough reasonable suspicion to pull a driver over is a top concern. Law enforcement must have reasonable suspicion that a motorist is involved in some sort of criminal activity, including driving under the influence, in order to detain them (stop their vehicles). If officers do not observe lane drifting, speeding, near collisions, traffic infractions, or other signs of suspicious activity or crime, a lack of reasonable suspicion may result in an unlawful stop.
Sex Crimes
When it comes to responding to sex crime allegations, time is of the essence. If convicted, you could be facing severe penalties that could tarnish your reputation and follow you around for the rest of your life. If you have been charged with a sex crime, seek the immediate help of the Dayton sex crime attorneys at L. Patrick Mulligan & Associates, LLC. Whether you are accused of rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, we can help protect your rights and liberties.
Fraud
The crime spanned multiple states – For instance, a wire fraud scheme that involves multiple perpetrators and victims in more than one state.
Robbery
In Ohio, adults can buy and openly carry a gun without a permit. However, those who wish to carry concealed weapons must have a concealed carry license and pass a background check. If you are facing weapon crime charges related to concealed carry licenses or another offense, we at L. Patrick Mulligan & Associates, LLC can help protect your rights. Our weapon charges attorney in Dayton also defends individuals who have committed other crimes using a weapon, such as armed robbery.
Burglary
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
Client was charged as a result of a stabbing that was caught on video. The case lasted over a year and after developing our theory to the case the prosecutor was convinced to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor with probation.
Drug Crimes
The penalties for drug crimes depend on various factors, such as the type and quantity found in your possession.
Assault
According to Ohio laws, assault is an attempt to cause physical harm to another, while battery is to intentionally or negligently cause offensive physical contact or bodily harm. If you are facing assault charges, an experienced Dayton assault lawyer from our firm can help you deal with the wide range of charges and penalties associated with assaults.
Murder
Being accused of murder is undoubtedly one of the most serious charges a person can face. If you are currently under investigation for murder, L. Patrick Mulligan & Associates, LLC is here for you. During our more than 50 years of combined experience, we have handled thousands of cases, including those involving murder. The penalties for murder include the death penalty or life in prison without parole. Should you choose to be represented by one of our murder lawyers in Dayton or Cincinnati, we will work relentlessly toward achieving the most favorable outcome possible.
Juvenile Crimes
Due to the seriousness of a juvenile crime, it is essential to take swift legal action. Prosecutors won't necessarily exercise leniency toward a juvenile simply because of his or her young age. Our reputable law firm in Dayton will provide you with the information and resources necessary to protect your child's future.
Homicide
Arson
Restraining Order
Kidnapping
Some federal and state laws cover the same type of conduct. For instance, 18 U.S.C. § 1201 and ORC § 2905.01 both concern kidnapping. When state and federal laws apply, depending on how the offense occurred, it could be prosecuted as a state crime, federal crime, or both. The U.S. has a double jeopardy doctrine providing that a person cannot be charged for the same crime twice, but it does not apply when an offense falls under state and federal jurisdiction because they are considered two separate sovereigns.
Furthermore, a convicted individual may be required to pay restitution to the victim, which may include reimbursement for things like property damage, medical bills, and the cost of counseling.
