Knox County Criminal Defense Attorney
No matter what you have been charged with, the attorneys at the Law Office of John P.M. Rutan have experience dealing with them. We represent clients in all areas of criminal defense including the following:
Domestic Violence
Drugs and alcohol are frequent contributors to domestic violence as are financial disagreements, and spousal infidelity.
Drunk Driving
First-time OVI offenders are treated harshly under Ohio Dui/OVI laws. The minimum penalty for first-time offenders is the loss of one’s driver’s license for up to one year, a $1,000 fine and three day in jail. Even if this is your first drunk driving conviction, you will have a criminal record for six years.
Probation Violation
Everyone’s terms of probation differ and statistics show that people who are convicted of crimes and are sentenced to probation violate the terms of their probation in about 50% of the time.
Drug Charges
Our objective is your freedom and restoration of your good reputation and we pledge to defend you to the best of our ability against the drug charges that have been laid against you.
Assault Defense
If you are convicted of assault you could be facing extended jail time, forfeiture of your right to bear arms, the stigma of a criminal reputation in the community, and diminished employment opportunities.
