A Criminal Defense Attorney Who Will Fight For You

You should never have to face the criminal justice system alone. There is simply too much at stake. Choosing the right lawyer – one who knows how to build a strong case, and who knows what it takes to win – may be the determining factor in your case.

When you work with me, James F. Bogen, Attorney at Law, you will benefit from my 20-plus years of experience and in-depth knowledge of Ohio criminal law. I have earned a respected reputation among prosecutors and judges alike for my diligence in representing clients. I have extensive trial experience in both state and federal courts. Based in Cincinnati, I know the local courts, which is a big advantage for my clients.

Building Strong Evidence In Every Kind Of Criminal Case

Evidence is what makes or breaks a criminal case. I take a detailed approach to review all of the evidence and finding the right evidence to place my clients in the strongest position possible. I review every detail to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case – mistakes the police officers made, violations of your rights, gaps in the evidence and areas to introduce reasonable doubt. Drawing on a big-picture view of the case, I can then advocate for my client in plea negotiations or at trial, if needed.

I bring this approach to every case I handle, including:

  • Felonies
  • Misdemeanors
  • Homicide
  • Murder (I’m certified to handle death-penalty cases)
  • Federal offenses
  • Juvenile crimes
  • Drug offenses
  • Driving while intoxicated (DUI/OVI)
  • Serious traffic offenses
  • Probation violations
  • Sex crimes
  • White collar offenses
  • Appeals
  • Judicial release
  • Mayor’s Court

In cases involving juveniles, I understand that much more is at stake. Juveniles have their entire lives ahead of them. I understand how to protect their future so they aren’t stuck with a criminal record or driver’s license issues that can haunt them later.

Mayor’s Court Cases Still Require A Determined Defense

Even though the consequences of misdemeanor convictions in Ohio Mayor’s Courts are not as steep as felonies, this does not mean you do not need an attorney when you are a defendant in Mayor’s Court. Many individuals do not hire an attorney when they are charged with a misdemeanor in Mayor’s Court because they think the charge is not a big deal, or because they feel too embarrassed to talk to somebody and they want to get their case over with as soon as possible.
Even convictions in Mayor’s Courts can have a significant effect on a person’s employment, obtaining or holding certain professional licenses, or obtaining housing. The potential consequences of a misdemeanor conviction in Mayor’s Court cannot be underestimated.

Honest Guidance

You can turn to me for an honest opinion about your case and a diligent approach to fighting for a favorable outcome. I don’t tell clients what they want to hear. I tell them what they need to hear. Then, I work tirelessly to build a strong case for them.

Driven To Get Results

You deserve a lawyer who will work hard to protect your freedom. You will find that here.
