When Your Back is to the Wall.

When a criminal charge is staring you in the face you see your life flash before you.  There are a wide-range of criminal activities with which you could be charged in the State of Ohio.  They range from DUI to capital murder.  Anything under the auspices of an arrest for a criminal activity must be taken very seriously.

Many times, there can be NO justice without a trial.  One of the top criminal attorneys in Portage and Summit counties has had experience working for BOTH sides.  That’s right!  How many lawyers once worked for the government and now defend charges in the criminal courts of Northeast Ohio for 20 years?

He sounds like someone you might want to call.  If you or a loved one are charged with any criminal offence in the Buckeye State reach for the phone and call Akron criminal defense attorney Jon Sinn.  We have said it over and over, the only sin when you are faced with prosecution is NOT calling Jon.  Jon Sinn’s cell phone number is (330) 431-0160.

Good People…Bad Drugs.

It could have started during the holidays, or just have been exacerbated at various end-of-the-year parties and gatherings.  You are a good person who takes care of themselves, but you have been taking illegal drugs.  Now the recreational habit has gotten out of hand and you or a loved one have been arrested on a drug possession charge.

It is a process that is as old as the human condition.  The only change has been that in Ohio there is a drug climate that many would say has reached epidemic proportions.  There are about as many ways to get high and escape reality for “a minute” as there are people.  That does not mean someone should be judged for life and hamstrung with a drug conviction.

If you or someone you care about has been arrested and incarcerated seek out the best lawyer possible as quickly as you can.  In Northeast Ohio you have someone who, in the past represented the other side.  That type of knowledge will be invaluable.  He is Summit and Portage County Ohio drug defense attorney Jon Sinn.  The only sin is NOT calling Jon at (330) 431-0160 anytime of the day or night.

When Cabin Fever Goes too Far.

We have been gathering together all Winter.  We had the holidays with “mandatory” parties to attend be it with family or not.  Winter in Northeast Ohio can and does test our patience.  Remember the good old days…two equally matched people would fight, shake hands, and go their separate ways.  Nowadays the police are getting involved more and more.

These incidences often occur between two or more people who are/were close friends and things just got out of hand.  Know this…if the cops are involved somebody is probably getting hauled off to jail.  When the “dust settles” you have a situation that demands a good assault defense lawyer right away.

Since these events have a way of generally occurring late into the night make sure that you are calling someone you can reach quickly.  That person is Akron, Ohio assault and battery defense attorney Jon Sinn.  It is no sin to lose your temper, but it is a sin not to call John to help you or a loved one out of a tough situation.  Call or TEXT attorney Jon Sinn at (303) 431-0160

What is Judicial Release in Ohio?

It may seem obvious, but its consequences are far-reaching for the family of the incarcerated. 

Release from prison is granted by a judge who sentences convicted criminals.  If a judge wishes to do so he or she may grant judicial release or “shock probation” as it used to be known.  The offender may be placed in a furlough program.

Each individual is left up to the sentencing judge.  There are many extenuating factors to be considered.  Not the least of which is the behavior of the person while they were incarcerated.  You also must factor in the attitude and the history of the particular judge that you are dealing with in this very delicate matter.

All of which leads us to understand that you need a top attorney to plea your loved one’s case.  That is when you pick up the phone and call Ohio judicial release attorney Jon Sinn.  He has had decades of experience arguing this matter before Northeast Ohio judges.  The only sin is not calling today for a free consultation with Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.

Slow Down and Pull Over.

These are dreaded words that we never want to hear while we are driving.  It may happen to the best of us any time…guilty or innocent.  All of a sudden you glance in your rear view mirror and there they are - those nasty red and blue flashing lights.  It could be something as innocuous as you simply forgot to signal when changing lanes.

Whatever the case it is vitally important to keep your cool.  If in fact you are cited for going over the speed limit there are two steps to follow.  First of all, don’t bother to start an argument on the scene…that will never go well!  Secondly, do NOT just systematically pay the fine even if you believe that you were speeding.

Take a breath and when you get home (or even before) place a phone call to Jon Sinn.  Jon is a Northeast Ohio attorney who has been fighting speeding tickets for years.  The consequences could be severe if you don’t take the matter seriously.  The only sin is not calling Jon.  Jon Sinn at his office located in Akron at (330) 431-0160.

Drug Penalties in Ohio.

It’s a brand new year and we just made it through another holiday season.  We don’t want to start out 2017 with some scare tactic, but we do want you to be aware of the consequences of drug possession and trafficking in the Buckeye State.  Penalties may be severe including large fines and YEARS, not months of prison for certain convictions.

If you were not aware, the federal government may get involved in prosecuting some drug cases and take it out of the hands of the state.  In some cases handling drugs is a misdemeanor, but it could be a felony and it becomes very confusing.  For example, a first degree drug felony conviction can result in up to eleven years in prison and a fine of up to $20,000!

An individual who is found guilty of holding or selling drugs in Ohio will have their life altered forever.  If, heaven forbid, you or a loved one is charged with a drug crime of ANY kind in the state do not hesitate.  Call Jon Sinn immediately.  Attorney Sinn has successfully defended drug charges in Ohio for decades.  Wherever you are in Northeast Ohio the only sin is not calling or texting Jon at (330) 431-0160.
