Time Is Your Most Critical Asset

Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and prosecution builds its case from day one. The sooner you have experienced legal counsel, the stronger your defense.

At Jones Day, we begin working on your case immediately — investigating the evidence, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and building a strategy tailored to your situation.

Our attorneys have successfully defended clients at every stage — from initial arrest through trial and appeal. We fight at every turn to protect your freedom and your future.

"The Constitution guarantees you the right to a vigorous defense."

— James R. Mitchell, Managing Partner
