Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  Modifications to child support happen when a life-changing or significant financial event occurs. One of your children may have emancipated (gotten older) or one parent may have received a significant raise or relocated, which warrants a review of the support amount. If a modification is necessary or appropriate, it is a smart idea to work with a knowledgeable lawyer who is familiar with the techniques needed to accurately calculate a modification, as well as present the information to the court for approval. The attorneys at Baker, Baker and Baker, LLC can assist you with a modification and are prepared to answer your questions and concerns. We are entirely committed to our clients' needs, and offer timely and effective legal solutions for your particular situation.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Domestic violence is a crime committed by one family member against another. It includes charges such as simple, aggravated, or felonious assault, stalking, menacing, and other charges.

• DUI/DWI
  On September 28th 2012, a major change in the Ohio expungement law took effect. An expungement is a legal procedure that allows all references to past criminal convictions to be cleared and the court files sealed. The new law changes what convictions can be expunged. This means people with multiple convictions may be eligible to get their past offenses sealed. The following charges may qualify for expungement: One (1) felony conviction; two (2) separate misdemeanor convictions, if not the same offense, and no more than one (1) felony and one (1) misdemeanor offense. Not all crimes are eligible for expungement, such as: DUI, Driving Under Suspension, sex offenses, and other violent crimes. There are also time restrictions to expungements. Misdemeanor cases require a waiting period of one (1) year after the case is closed and felonies require a three (3) year waiting period after the case is closed. A case is considered closed when court costs and restitution are paid and when the person is discharged from any probation period. Although, it is still ultimately the Court’s decision to grant the expungment, it is an excellent way to put past mistakes behind you and have your criminal record sealed.

• White Collar Crimes

• Misdemeanors
  Juvenile crimes can be either felonies or misdemeanors, depending on the severity of the crime. In some cases, particularly those involving violence, sexual crime, crime on school campus, or other factors such as gang enhancements or use of weapons, the juvenile offender will be charged as an adult and subject to adult penalties.
• Drug Crimes
  In Ohio, drug charges can carry heavy fines, jail time, and a loss of driving privileges.  To protect your rights, you should retain an experienced Ohio drug crime lawyer, such as Baker, Baker & Baker LLC, as soon as possible.  Many drug charges are felonies, but even possession of a small amount of marijuana can cause a 6-month drivers license suspension.  Felony drug offenses also have the potential to result in forfeiture of money or property as an additional penalty if convicted of such an offense.

Miller Jr., who teaches bankruptcy law at Boston University School of Law.
