ACCUSED OF A FELONY?

Depending on your case there may be other options if you are facing a felony that a criminal defense attorney can seek such as the Brown Law Office. The Ohio Revised Code provides people charged with specific offenses the option to receive assistance and possible treatment in order to avoid a felony conviction. This option is called Intervention In Lieu Of Conviction and is available in certain cases where the offender’s drug or alcohol usage or mental illness was a factor leading to his or her criminal offense. This option can be a great opportunity for certain offenders to address the underlying issues that contributed to their criminal charges.
Intervention In Lieu Of Conviction isn’t available for everyone. For example, if the offender has a prior felony record or has completed a similar program before. Further, the offender generally must not be charged with a violent crime. Certain candidates who have been allowed to be in the program are offenders who have substance abuse or mental health issues and who are charged with low-level theft, drug possession or drug trafficking charges.
There are many options that an experienced criminal defense attorney can pursue for individuals facing felony charges, Intervention In Lieu Of Conviction is just one example and strategy that may be used.
