Criminal Law – A Brief History.

Criminal law is known as the body of law that defines criminal offenses, regulates the trial and apprehension of suspects, and fixes penalties.  A crime is considered as an offense against the public, although the actual victim may be an individual.  You may know all of that, but that does not mean you are guilty if you have been detained!

When is an arrest considered wrongful?  An arrest is deemed wrongful when a person is detained and wrongfully convicted by police without proper legal authority.  Wrongful arrests most commonly occur when a retail employee or owner holds a customer against their will because they have probable cause that the customer committed a crime in their store such as shoplifting.

It is something that happens frequently during the holiday shopping season.  Were you or a loved one wrongfully detained?  I would strongly advise you to contact the office of Akron criminal defense attorney Jon Sinn.  Many times, the only sin you have committed is not calling Jon right away.  From Jon Sinn to all Northeast Ohioans Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Too Many Holiday Parties?

It happens this time of year.  We go hither and yon to holiday parties.  Sometimes we have that proverbial “one drink too many”.  If and when that happens, getting behind the wheel is something we should NEVER do, but we are human.  Many of us think that we can handle “a few beers” then hit the road.

If you are guilty of a lapse of judgement it does not necessarily mean that you have to pay for it for the rest of your life.  A DUI conviction can carry just that stigma!  Whether you took the breathalyzer test or not, there is a very good chance that I can help you protect your future from the damage an OVI / DUI can potentially cause.

Here is the thing, DUI’s are generally really tough cases and many lawyers just give up rather than fight.  That guarantees that their clients lose in the end.  My name is Jon Sinn.  I am a DUI defense attorney in Akron Ohio.  Sometimes the only sin you may have committed is not calling me…Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.
