Trial-Tested Defense When You Need It Most
We are not a plea factory. Many DUI lawyers will simply take clients and get a quick plea deal. We instead fight aggressively for our clients, and we tailor our approach to what our clients want. Some clients want us to work out the best deal as fast as possible; others want us to challenge the evidence and attempt to secure an acquittal. It depends on the client’s situation. If you have a job that you need driving privileges or you cannot have a criminal conviction for, you might need to fight the charges. Our Toledo DUI attorneys understand that.
Our Approach: No Case Is Hopeless
Depending on the nature of your case, you might worry that even the best lawyer can’t help. However, whether you face a felony or misdemeanor charge, you need to contact a skilled Toledo criminal defense attorney right away. At Patituce & Associates, we can show you how spending just 10 minutes discussing your case with a defense lawyer can greatly improve your situation. To take the first step, fill out an online form or give us a call now.
Better than I could have hoped.
“I hired Mr. Patituce and his law firm after a string of unsuccessful attorneys. I wanted to go to his firm in the first place, however, I initially went with an attorney who called himself “seasoned” …. The truth is that the “seasoned” attorney never returned my phone calls, never told me what was going on, and every time I saw him at court he was laughing and joking with the prosecutor. Mr. Patituce was none of that, he returned my phone calls within a day at most. Most of the time he called me back within an hour. It was the best decision of my life to hire him. I walked out the door free, rather than going to prison.” – A.M.
