Homicide
A homicide charge is one of the most serious and life‑altering accusations a person can face. In Ohio, these cases are aggressively investigated, heavily prosecuted, and carry some of the harshest penalties under state law. When everything is at stake, you need more than general legal guidance, you need a skilled criminal defense attorney who understands how to navigate the complexities of a homicide case. It is important to contact the Law Office of Owen M. Patton, who has first hand experience both negotiating and trying homicide cases before a jury.
