Ohio Focuses on Rehabilitation, Not Punishment
Fortunately, when it comes to juvenile crimes the state of Ohio believes in rehabilitation, not punishment.
Kenneth Crislip has helped many young people avoid convictions and permanent criminal records. He has the trust of prosecutors and judges, and he has been able to negotiate non-conviction outcomes in many cases. For many juvenile crimes, the young person can apply for an expungement at the age of 18, which seals the record to people outside the criminal justice system.
In cases involving serious crimes, a juvenile can be charged in adult court and face the possibility of incarceration. Kenneth Crislip will take a different approach in these types of cases. He will first seek to keep the case out of adult court if that is at all possible. Then he will work aggressively defend his client — to obtain a dismissal of the charge, a negotiated plea with mitigated penalties or a not guilty verdict.
Protecting Your Future
Do not let a crime like underage drinking, possession of marijuana or assault ruin your future.
Kenneth Crislip will work vigorously to obtain an outcome which mitigates penalties and keeps your record clean.
