Ashley Jones | Cleveland Criminal Lawyer

In the past years, I have had several DUI/OVI cases that the prosecutor's office has had to dismiss. In particular, there were two, each a second DUI offense within 6 years, where I filed a Motion to Suppress attacking the basis that the officer had to initiate a traffic stop of my client. In each case, the court agreed that there was no basis for the stop, and the city was forced to dismiss the cases in their entirety.

I've built a successful practice by getting good results, and having good communication.

In a free phone consultation, I am able to assess the situation and create a game-plan and method of attack. I always create a game-plan with clients and keep them in the loop.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is justice- in society, we often only hear prosecutor's talk about getting justice, but good defense attorneys seek justice as well, on behalf of their clients.

am very involved in the community. I am active in several bar associations, including the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. I also am on the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association, and am the Chair of the Small Firm and Solo Practitioner Section of the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association.

Criminal Defense | Client placed on probation only when started with 9 criminal charges ranging from First degree felonies to fourth degree felonies | Client was charged with 9 separate crimes, ranging from First degree felonies to fourth degree felonies. Negotiated with prosecutor on three fourth degree felonies with the rest of the charges being dismissed. Despite client's lengthy criminal record and client's score of 12/15 on recidivism scale (likely to commit again) the Judge agreed with my argument that probation was proper.
