Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

1. Is it against the law for a minor to have a pack of cigaretts? My daugher was given a ticket/citation.

2. At the same time I was given a misdemeanor citation for my daughter breaking curfew.....at 1:30 am. Curfew in North Royalton, ohio is 1 am. I was talking/texting with my daughter on where she was between the hours of 12 midnite and 1:30 am...she kept saying she was on her way home. My daugther knows I will come pick her up , no questions asked, just so she is not out after midnite. Midnite is "MY curfew" till she is 18.

I am sorry to hear about your circumstances. Unfortunately, I do not practice criminal or juvenile law; therefore, I am not going to be able to answer your specific questions, nor will I be representing you. I urge you to consult immediately with other lawyers regarding your potential legal rights. Your local bar association may have a lawyer referral service that can provide you with the names of some lawyers near you who handle these types of matters. In the alternative, you may want to contact the Columbus Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service (telephone number 614-221-4112; web address http://www.peoplesbar.org/findingalawyer/referral_form.php). I am sorry I cannot help you.
