Cincinnati Criminal Defense Lawyer

Aggressive Criminal Defense · Call Now. Phone Answered 24/7.

Ohio imposes serious criminal sanctions for operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI) or driving under the influence (DUI) conviction. Mandatory penalties can include incarceration, fines and a shattered reputation. If you are facing OVI/DUI charges, as well as other criminal charges, do not take the situation lightly. It is important to take these charges seriously and to work with an experienced Cincinnati criminal defense attorney.

At the law office of Matthew T. Ernst, Attorney at Law, we provide aggressive, strategic criminal defense. We explore every aspect of a case, using our more than 15 years of experience to uncover any weakness in the prosecutor's case. Then we craft the most effective strategy based on the case before us. In some cases, we can talk with the prosecutor and get charges reduced or dropped before the trial even starts, other cases involve intelligent plea bargaining and some cases involve aggressive trial representation.

"My clients do not underestimate the seriousness of the charges they are facing. Neither do I. If you are facing OVI or other criminal charges, I can provide smart, aggressive criminal defense." ∙ Matthew T. Ernst, Attorney at Law

We defend clients throughout Ohio against OVI/DUI, traffic violations, and other criminal law charges. Do not take your charges lightly. Too much is at stake. Work with a distinguished, experienced OVI lawyer who can help you minimize the consequences of the criminal charges you are facing.
