Juvenile Attorney – Newark, Ohio

If your child has been charged with a criminal offense in Newark, Ohio, it is important to hire legal counsel. Contact Attorney David Johnson of Johnson Legal, LLC at (614) 987-0192 to review your case and discuss with you how to proceed. As an experienced and dedicated criminal defense attorney, he will be with you and your child at the first court appearance (called an “arraignment”) and attempt to have the case dismissed.

In the event that the charges are not dropped, a pretrial hearing will be conducted. At this time, Attorney Johnson will decide if motions needs to be filed, such as suppressing certain pieces of evidence, and negotiate with the prosecution regarding a possible plea agreement.

If a plea agreement is not reached, or you decline to accept it, a motion hearing may be scheduled. This allows your attorney to challenge any potential issues with the case, such as the police officer lacking probable cause or not advising your child of his or her Miranda rights. If the case is not resolved yet, a trial will be scheduled. At trial, Attorney Johnson will vigorously defend your child. However, if you are found guilty, Attorney Johnson will seek all avenues available that will allow your child to avoid jail or prison.
