Attorney Weisenburger has the quality of experience and skill necessary to properly defend your rights and take on the District Attorney's best prosecutors.
• Drug crimes: The punishment for drug offenses varies dramatically according to certain factors - the amount of the drugs, the type of drugs and whether the defendant intended to sell the drugs. Attorney Weisenburger is extremely knowledgeable about Ohio's drug laws and understands how to apply the law to the facts of your case. As a veteran trial lawyer with thousands of cases under his belt, he has a proven track record in defending a variety of felony drug charges, including drug abuse, drug possession, trafficking, distribution, cultivation, assembly and manufacture.
• Felony DUI/OVI: Under Ohio law, a person arrested for driving under the influence, i.e. drunk driving, can be charged with felony DUI if he or she has three or more DUI convictions within the past six years or five or more convictions within the past twenty years. A felony DUI conviction carries harsh mandatory punishments, including prison, vehicle forfeiture and license suspension. Attorney Weisenburger will challenge the circumstances leading to the arrest and the sobriety test results in pursuit of getting your charges lowered or dropped altogether.
A Highly Skilled Criminal Defense Lawyer Can:
- Formulate sentencing tailored to a client's specific needs, often helping the client avoid problems with employment and family.
- Provide the client with a clear, objective and knowledgeable perspective on the situation, including what is likely to happen in their case, should it go to trial or not.
- Advise the client of the impact of important legal rulings in criminal law rules having an effect on the particular circumstances of their case.
- Use his familiarity with local court customs, personnel and procedures that aren't written down anywhere (for example, a lawyer may know which prosecutor has the authority to settle a case, and what kinds of arguments are likely to persuade any given judge).
- Understand the possible short term and long term effects of pleading guilty, which a self-represented person might never consider.
- Spend crucial time to personally prepare your case for trial.
- Collect and evaluate information from witnesses for both the defense as well as the prosecution.
- Gather evidence needed to impeach or counter prosecution witnesses, including police officers.
