People accused of a crime are at a disadvantage from the moment they are contacted by the law enforcement. Police officers and prosecutors can use all of the power and resources of the state to collect evidence against you. If you attempt to cooperate with investigators by answering questions, anything you say can and will be used against you.
At The R. Paul Cushion, II, Esq. Law Firm in Cleveland, Ohio, we protect the rights of individuals in northwest Ohio who have been charged with crimes such as:
- Traffic violations such as speeding, reckless driving, driving without insurance and vehicular homicide
- Driving under the influence(DUI)
- Possession, possession with the intent to sell and trafficking in illegal drugs such as marijuana, meth, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and prescription drugs such as Oxycontin and Xanax
- Theft, robbery and burglary
- White collar crimes such as wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering
- Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) cases
- Assault and aggravated assault
- Menacing, harassment and disorderly conduct
- Sex offenses
- Murder and attempted murder
If you have been charged with a crime, you should not talk to the police without counsel being present. Police officers may say that they only want to know the underlying facts, but what they are really looking for is evidence that can be used to charge you with a crime. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and explain your rights.
