Akron Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal Defense Attorney Serving the Akron & Canton Areas

I am Attorney Chris Sullivan and I work aggressively as an Akron criminal defense attorney because I understand that being charged with a crime is one of the most serious and emotionally stressful situations a person can go through. If you or someone you love has been charged with a crime in Akron, Canton, Cleveland or the surrounding counties of Medina, Portage, Cuyahoga, Wayne, Lorain or Geauga, Ohio, please call my firm. I believe in giving dedicated and personalized attention to each client in order to make sure his or her rights are defended. I realize that being charged with a crime can greatly affect the rest of an individual's life. My experience in criminal law drives me to do everything I can for each client to ensure the best possible outcome.

Irrespective of the particular nature or severity of criminal charges you or a loved one may be dealing with, you will benefit from moving quickly to consult with a skilled legal professional. An experienced criminal lawyer can offer you valuable insight in regard to what you may be up against and what you should or should not do at this point in your case to positively affect its outcome. Even the smallest details may end up having a profound impact on the final result of your case, including whether you face formal charges or go to criminal court at all. That is why I strongly suggest that you contact a lawyer as soon as you can - even if formal criminal charges have not yet been filed against you.

I represent clients in a variety of cases needing criminal defense or skilled representation including all types of traffic violations and felony and misdemeanor charges such as OVI/DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs), drug crimes (possession, sale, trafficking, distribution, etc.), sex crimes (molestation, rape, child pornography, indecent exposure, prostitution, etc.), violent crimes (assault, homicide, domestic violence, robbery, etc.) and white collar crimes (embezzlement, identity theft, fraud, bribery, extortion, etc.). I can handle cases related to juvenile crimes as well, representing minors who have been accused of committing crimes. If you have already been convicted of a crime and are struggling with the burden of a criminal conviction on your record, I can offer you my help in petitioning for expungement to clear your criminal record. No matter what type of criminal case you may be dealing with, I welcome you to contact my offices to undergo a confidential consultation and review of your case. I can answer your questions to help you get started on the right track.

Why an Akron criminal defense attorney?

If you have been charged with shoplifting or petty theft, rape, drug trafficking, assault and battery, internet crimes, etc. or need help getting your record expunged, I may be able to help you get the results you are looking for. I highly recommend that anyone facing these serious and possible life-altering circumstances get knowledgeable representation. The Ohio criminal court system can be overwhelming and complicated without help. Some charges can result in very harsh penalties if a conviction is carried through. An Ohio DUI or OVI (operating a vehicle impaired) charge can carry a fine of up to $1000, a 3-year suspended license and 180 days in jail for just the first offense. Other types of convictions (burglary, kidnapping, hit and run, etc.) can result in much harsher punishments. An aggressive Akron criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in your case.

When a person is up against costly fines, jail times of several years or even life in prison, the last thing to do is to try to go it alone. I may be able to help you or someone you care about avoid such harsh punishment by working one on one to come up with a strategic defense that protects your personal rights. I do my utmost for every client in order to get the best results possible.
