Child-Related Allegations in Ohio
We handle all types of criminal problems, from minor traffic and OVI offenses to complicated white collar problems. Our firm has the resources, knowledge, and experience to help with any criminal issue. Our experience has taught us that certain specific areas of criminal law require a unique understanding of the law. Child-related cases are a perfect example.
We have handled countless child-related cases. We often see allegations of sexual abuse, alleged shaken baby syndrome, and various other types of alleged abuse. We have recognized a common thread—these cases are unique. They require an understanding of the specific legal issues. But, more than that, they require an understanding of specific scientific issues, psychological factors, and a broad range of other “non-legal” influences over the case.
Access to national experts is a must. Our Ohio criminal defense attorneys have traveled out-of-state to meet with specific experts to discuss our cases. We have found critical scientific problems in cases that appeared hopeless on their face.
Few people outside this unique area of practice ever consider the potential problems with these types of cases. But speaking from experience, we can stress that a false allegation can be lodged against virtually anyone.
Everyone wants to believe that children will tell the truth. But often children don’t understand the consequences of their actions. They are easily influenced by caring adults.
We work closely with a national organization to assist folks accused of child-related crimes. The National Child Abuse Defense & Resource Center is located in Holland, Ohio. They provide crucial assistance to individuals seeking help in their cases and attorneys working to defend them.
When choosing an attorney for any child-specific case, make sure to find help from a firm that has the resources, experience, and know-how to organize and simplify the complicated facts, law, and science of the case. And, most important, find a Columbus criminal defense law firm that has the trial experience necessary to see the case through to the end.
