Akron Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal Defense Lawyer Representing Akron & Canton

I am Attorney Chris Sullivan and I work aggressively as an Akron criminal defense lawyer 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 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.

I represent clients in a variety of cases needing criminal defense or skilled representation including the following:

• Felony & Misdemeanor Defense
• OVI/DUI
• Drug Crimes
• Expungements
• Juvenile Crimes
• Sex Crimes
• Traffic Violations
• Violent Crimes
• White Collar Crimes

Why an Akron Criminal Defense Attorney May Be Necessary

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.
