**𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗬**
Our client was charged with: Felony Domestic Violence, a felony of the fifth degree. He was facing up to 12 months in prison and having a label that follows you for life.

The State brought the charge and they expected a plea as charged. They didn’t get one. Our client said he was innocent, and we don’t fold on innocent people. So we took it to a jury. And after deliberation…𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩𝙮.

Trial Attorney Jagdeep Sangha did what he does best, walked into a courtroom prepared, locked in, and ready to fight. And when it mattered most, he delivered.

Let’s be clear:
Not every case should be a plea.
Not every allegation is the truth.
And not every defense attorney is ready for trial.

We are.

Because when your freedom is on the line…you don’t need someone to negotiate. You need someone who’s ready to win.

If you or someone you love has been charged with a crime in Ohio or Kentucky, do not navigate the system alone. The consequences of a conviction can be life-altering. Know your rights and ☎️ call us 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐘 for a free, confidential criminal defense consultation (513) 579-9500.

🍀🌈 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀🌈

Don’t rely on the luck of the Irish to get you out of a DUI. 🚔

If you ever find yourself interacting with law enforcement, remember a few important rights:

🍀 If questioned, say: “I invoke my right to remain silent.”
If they keep asking questions, repeat it. Once you invoke that right, questioning should stop.

🍀 You can also say: “I want an attorney. I’m invoking my right to counsel.”

🍀 You do not have to answer questions like how much you’ve had to drink.

🍀 You do not have to perform field sobriety tests. You can politely decline.

Most importantly, don’t drink and drive! Have a plan before you head out tonight so you can celebrate safely.

But if you or someone you know finds themselves needing an experienced, tenacious legal team to fight for their rights in Ohio or Kentucky, call us IMMEDIATELY for a free, confidential consultation.

Stay safe today, Cincinnati. 🍀

**𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗬 𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗦**

Our client was charged with:
• 3 counts of Telecommunications Harassment
• Misdemeanors of the 1st Degree (each carrying 180 days of jail time). He was facing over a year in jail.
The State offered plea deals. Our client refused them because he knew he had done nothing wrong. We believed him. We stood with him. And we took the case to trial. After trial, the Court returned verdicts of 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩𝙮 on all counts.
This case was tried by Attorney Craig Teepen who brings over a decade of criminal defense experience to Ernst & Associates and recently joined our firm. His trial skills, preparation, and unwavering commitment to defending the accused made the difference.

At Ernst & Associates, we don’t pressure clients to plead guilty just to make cases go away. We protect the presumption of innocence and we are always ready to try cases when justice demands it. ⚖️
