Firm Information

Overview

An arrest can turn an ordinary day into a frightening, uncertain experience. The click of handcuffs, the closing of a cell door and the realization that your freedom may be at stake can leave you wondering what to do next. At Shark Law Firm in Cincinnati, Ohio, we understand the fear that follows an arrest and provide experienced criminal defense representation to clients. For more than 25 years, our attorneys have handled complex criminal law matters and developed a deep understanding of how prosecutors, police officers and investigators build their cases.

The state has substantial resources behind it, but its case is not beyond challenge. We examine every detail, looking for weaknesses in the evidence and mistakes in the investigation. Our attorneys scrutinize police reports, witness statements and physical evidence rather than simply accepting the prosecution's version of events. We understand the shortcuts that can occur during an investigation and know how to identify constitutional violations and unreliable testimony that could affect the outcome of a case.

From the moment of an arrest, what you say and do can have lasting consequences. We encourage clients to exercise their constitutional right to remain silent and request an attorney before answering questions. Once the case enters the court system, we are prepared to protect our clients at every stage, including arraignment, bail proceedings and subsequent hearings. Whether a case involves misdemeanor or felony allegations, we work to prevent the prosecution from gaining an unfair advantage.

Our approach is thorough and aggressive. We conduct independent investigations, seek dashcam and security footage, locate witnesses and examine how evidence was obtained. When law enforcement violates constitutional rights, we can pursue motions to suppress improperly obtained evidence. By challenging weaknesses in the prosecution's case, we work to protect our clients' freedom and pursue the strongest possible outcome.
