All Misdemeanor Charges
Traffic Violations
Lots of people pay their traffic tickets rather than going to court to try to get reduced charges, sentences, or fines. Although most traffic violations may not seem serious, it is smart to use an attorney to help resolve the charge. Doing so could save you time, money and possibly points on your license. Traffic violations can hurt your driving record and increase your insurance rates if not handled properly. Traffic tickets have point values that are abstracted on your Ohio driver’s license. If you gather twelve points in two years, you could have your license suspended for six months. Brian Jones can help you to obtain the best possible outcome from your traffic charges.
Brian also represents out-of-state or out-of-town drivers who receive tickets while driving through Central Ohio. In most cases, Brian can make all of the necessary court appearances so that these out-of-town drivers do not need to return to resolve these traffic issues at all.
Brian has represented numerous commercial truck drivers who have received traffic tickets in Ohio. He has been successful in getting the charges reduced to non-moving violations and getting fines and points reduced so that the violation does not affect the CDL so severely.

First Time Offenses
First time offenders have a variety of options available to prevent permanent damage to their reputation and criminal record. From programs such as diversion and intervention in lieu of conviction to creative plea bargaining and sentencing options, Brian Jones does his best to ensure your first mistake won’t follow you around for the rest of your life. Unlike many attorneys, Brian won’t charge you extra when it comes time to seal your record. With all the options available to first time offenders, can you afford to not hire an attorney?
Minor Drug Charges
Even minor drug charges can have serious long-term consequences, apart from fines, affecting your record, or jail time. Pleading guilty to a drug charge could mean that you face the following adverse consequences: suspension of your driver's license, a permanent criminal record, ineligibility for student loans, and ineligibility for certain careers. Brian Jones can help to minimize or eliminate these and other consequences of minor drug charges. One of Brian’s goals in drug cases is to win motions to suppress the drug evidence because of improper search/seizure procedures.
