Why You Need Legal Represenation at Lakewood Municipal Court
Our Lakewood criminal defense lawyers routinely defend individuals charged with domestic violence, driving under the influence, drug possession, and more. As former prosecutors, Patituce & Associates, LLC completely understands the strategies used by police and prosecutors alike. Our experience equips us to uncover the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case against you, exploiting those weaknesses to get your charges reduced or dropped.
We are ready to defend you from any charges and allegations against you from our offices in North Olmsted or Downtown Cleveland. Here’s the truth: it would be disastrous to represent yourself if you are facing criminal charges. You’re looking at nothing but trouble if you do not get a proven Lakewood criminal defense attorney on your side. Even lawyers hire an attorney when they are charged with a crime. So should you.
Criminal Law Cases We Can Help With
- Assault & Battery
- DUI / OVI
- Sex Crimes
- Homicide, Murder & Manslaughter
- Drug Charges
- Domestic Violence
- Robbery & Theft
- Crimes Against Family Members
The worst mistake you can make is entering a plea of no contest before seeing the evidence against you. Sometimes what seems like an open-and-shut case can have massive holes in it, ranging from technicalities to huge issues with the state’s case. For instance, we recently defended an individual by successfully proving his arrest was unconstitutional. As a result, the entire case was thrown out by the Court.
On your own, there’s no way to know if the case against you has holes. You need a lawyer to review your case—particularly lawyers who are experienced former prosecutors, know what to look for, and have a successful track record in court.

Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls (I had attorneys before who never call you back), answered my questions and never ignored my calls. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to her.

Catherine Meehan did an amazing job. Very responsive, friendly, and obviously very good with words. She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo. For that I can't ever repay the favor. Much appreciated hope I never need your assistance again but if so I'll definitely give you a call. Thank you again.

Joe helped my brother beat a serious RICO charge. He is simply the best criminal defense lawyer out there, and provides a clear-cut path to victory. I am extremely impressed and thankful for the hard work and dedication the team at Patituce & Associates put in on this case. It feels great to come out on the winning side, and not have to sweat a thing during the whole process. I highly recommend hiring Joe and his expert staff if you ever find yourself in any legal trouble. Thank you Joe!
