Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

You must get an attorney because a conviction of this kind can never be expunged. You qualify for a public defender when you make less than $15-20,000 a year....of course every court has their own particular standards. Go to the court and ask for a form to see if you qualify...

Leaving the kids in the car alone may not consitute the offense...they must have been exposed to some substantial risk of harm......i would need to know how old they were and how long they were in there, and every other specific fact that led the officer to charge you.....

remember that a jury makes the final determination....

the maximum punishment is 180 days in jail if it is an M1 and a year and a half in prison if the conviction if an F4....
