Simply put, if you are convicted of menacing, it can potentially be on your criminal background for the rest of your life. No matter what the circumstances were in your case, you run the risk of being considered someone who at best bothers and at worst threatens others. Therefore, it is critical that you give your menacing charge the level of importance it deserves. The Columbus Criminal Defense team takes an aggressive and comprehensive approach when representing clients charged with menacing. First and foremost, we will figure out what mistakes the police or detectives made during their investigation, whether the prosecuting witness is fabricating the charges any other legal issues that can be raised on your behalf. We do this by requesting discovery from the prosecutor. The discovery will generally consist of police reports, additional investigative notes, witness statements and potentially video or audio. As our client, you will receive a copy of everything received from the prosecutor for your review
Based on the legal weaknesses in the State of Ohio’s case and any other mitigating factors, we will negotiate the best possible plea available with the prosecutor for you to consider in resolving your case. If your case cannot be resolved satisfactorily with a plea, it would then proceed to a motion hearing (a hearing where the judge issues a ruling on an evidentiary issue) or a trial to the judge or jury, depending on the circumstances.
