Practice Areas Description

Our practice includes:

- OVI / DUI

If you are concerned about the effects of a DUI / OVI conviction, Attorney Shawn R. Dominy can usually help minimize or eliminate those effects. You could receive a three-day alcohol program instead of jail time. You could avoid yellow license plates and immobilization of your vehicle. If your driver’s license was suspended, you could have your license reinstated or obtain limited driving privileges. You may be able to resolve your case without having an OVI conviction on your record. We are an experienced OVI law firm. Our attorneys have undergone training in field sobriety testing, studied the science of evidential alcohol testing (blood/breath/urine), and have been trained on breath testing machines used in Ohio. We regularly participate in local and national seminars for DUI law.

- Drug Offenses

Our firm provides experienced and skilled representation for people charged with misdemeanor and felony drug crimes throughout central Ohio. Getting charged with possessing a small amount of marijuana, cocaine, or other illegal narcotics may turn into something more serious than you think. If you are a student at a university or college, a conviction may mean you lose eligibility for school and financial aid. Your criminal record can be marked for years, interfering with your employment prospects and eligibility for government aid.

- Theft / Fraud / Shoplifting

Criminal defense lawyer Shawn R. Dominy represents clients charged with theft offenses in the greater Columbus area and throughout central Ohio. He had successfully represented many clients for theft offenses such as shoplifting, felony theft, embezzlement, receiving stolen property, forgery, robbery, burglary, misuse of credit cards, identity fraud, Medicaid fraud, BWC fraud.

- University / College Students

We are known to many college and university students in central Ohio. It has been helping students protect their student eligibility and criminal record for years. The defense strategies include working hard to dismiss or reduce student's charges so that they will not include jail time or affect their standing at school. Our firm offers effective defense representation for college offenses such as underage drinking, drug charges, paraphernalia, disorderly conduct, sexual assault, sex crimes, shoplifting, robbery and identity theft.

- Domestic Violence and Assault

The physical and emotional harm caused by domestic abuse is serious, and Mr. Dominy takes the issue seriously. Ohio defines domestic violence to include nearly any physical or verbal threat a person makes against a member of his or her family. The ambiguity of the definition, however, often creates legal problems for people charged with assault or threatening behavior. A knowledgeable and experienced criminal defense attorney can help make sense of the law for the common person.

- Sex Offenses

Sex offenses in Ohio carry a unique stigma and consequences. Simply being accused of a sex crime can result in significant harm to your reputation. A conviction for a sexually oriented offense may result in a lengthy prison term, as well as registering as a sex offender for 15 years to life. Attorney Shawn Dominy had successfully represented many clients in Central Ohio for sex offenses such as possessing child pornography, pandering obscenity, importuning, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, rape, sexual battery, gross sexual imposition, prostitution, soliciting, public indecency, voyeurism.

- Appeals

Attorney Shawn Dominy has represented many clients in direct appeals in several Ohio appellate districts, as well as the Ohio Supreme Court and the federal Sixth District Court of Appeals.

- Juvenile Offenses

The stakes are rising for children charged with juvenile offenses. Every year, more minor-age offenders are being incarcerated in prisons, jails, youth detention centers, and training schools. Our firm offers responsive, attentive representation to meet the needs of juveniles charged with offenses. Many defense law firms simply don't allot the resources necessary to provide effective representation for juvenile offenders. With years of experience practicing juvenile law, Attorney Shawn Dominy had seen the impact that good defense representation can have on a juvenile proceeding.
