Pulled over. Knock at the door. Officer says he “just has a few questions.”

What you do in the next ninety seconds can decide your case before a lawyer ever gets involved.

Most people freeze. Some try to talk their way out. Both routes usually end the same way, with statements that show up in a police report and follow you into a courtroom.

There is a better way. It is not rude. It is not combative. It is what every defense attorney quietly wishes their clients had done before the first phone call.

Former elected county prosecutor and criminal defense attorney J.D. Tomlinson explains how Ohio OVI cases are really built—and how to protect yourself without being rude.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who carry so much, often without recognition.

The mothers who advocate, who comfort, who fight for their children every single day.

To every mom in Lorain, Cuyahoga, Erie, Summit and Medina counties, and beyond, we see you. We honor you. We thank you.

Wishing you a day of peace, love, and the rest you deserve.

From all of us at Mishak Law. 💙
