Cincinnati Criminal Defense Attorney

I am both a skilled negotiator and a successful trial attorney. I have a strong record of success representing both adults and juveniles in numerous bench and jury trials.

Most people who need my help are unfamiliar with the law and the court system. They are confused and intimidated by it. They need an attorney who understands and can explain the process to them, as well as one who can handle their problem in the most favorable manner.

As an experienced Cincinnati Criminal Defense Attorney, I've been practicing criminal law in the Cincinnati/Tri-state area since 1980. Results are important, and after more than 25 years of practice I know how to assess a case and produce the best possible result. But it is also important to communicate. I will answer your questions, return your calls and give you a realistic idea of what to expect of every step in the process.

Call me immediately if you have been arrested or are under investigation for any of the following types of criminal offenses:

    * Felony and Misdemeanor Cases
    * State and Federal Appeals
    * Juvenile Delinquency and Support Cases
    * Traffic Defense and License Suspension Assistance
    * Non-support Contempt in Domestic Relations Court
    * Drug and Narcotics Crimes
    * Domestic Violence
    * White Collar Crime
    * Sex Crimes
    * Homicide
    * Drunk Driving/DUI
    * Gun Violations
    * Internet Crime
    * Investigations
    * Expungement Motions

I am both a skilled negotiator and a successful trial attorney. I have a strong record of success representing both adults and juveniles in numerous bench and jury trials. When you contact my office, you won’t be passed off to a paralegal, as with some larger firms. If I agree to represent you, I will handle your case personally. I am highly attentive to my clients’ needs and personal concerns. I am committed to providing effective, discreet and reasonably priced legal representation in criminal law proceedings.

If you have been accused of a crime, the decisions you make now can literally affect the rest of your life. The strength of your defense should be assessed by an attorney who fully understands the unique facts of your case and who knows how the law applies to your circumstances. Only then can you make the critical decisions that will protect your future. As a skilled Cincinnati Criminal Defense Attorney, I will help you make these important decisions.

Resume

Elizabeth E. Agar, (Cincinnati, OH)

Attorney at Law, 1980 - present

I have 30 years of practice in the courts of southern Ohio, primarily in the fields of criminal and traffic law. I have tried murder cases where the death penalty was at stake, minor misdemeanor traffic offenses, and practically everything in between. I also handle appeals in both state and federal court. I have argued many cases before the Supreme Court of Ohio, and have won new trials or outright acquittals for clients who were on death row, or simply believed they were unjustly convicted.
