First of all, there is no such
thing as an attorney who “wins all cases.” It just doesn’t happen. If an attorney promises you a
particular outcome on a criminal case run the other way and report him/her to
the bar association!
It
seems you are looking to get your criminal record expunged or sealed. That area
of law in Ohio is a bit complex and is available only to first offenders.
While, at first blush, you do not appear to be eligible there are sometimes procedural
moves an attorney can make, depending on the client’s particular situation,
that would make the client eligible for expungement. I have had success, as
have some of my peers, doing this in the past but it is significantly more work
and there is – as any honest attorney will tell you – no guarantee of any
particular outcome.
