  • Don’t make the mistake of pleading guilty or making a decision about your case without a Seven Hills defense lawyer by your side. When a person is charged with a violation of local ordinances, DUI/OVI, or misdemeanor crimes in Ohio, their case will typically first be heard in the local Mayor’s Court.

    In Seven Hills, the Mayor’s Court meets twice a month, and you’ll be expected to enter a plea in your matter when you appear there. If you plead guilty, you’ll take the penalties as ordered by the court. If you plead not guilty, your matter will move to the Parma Municipal Court, in Parma, Ohio.

  • Make the Right Choice for Your Future

    Even if you’re not a resident of Seven Hills, local police can charge you in connection to a number of violations or crimes that will require you to report to court there. The question you need to consider is whether you want to live with the consequences of what they say you’ve done – or fight back against the charges and potentially move on with your life without a blemish on your record. Criminal convictions, even when they result from a guilty plea, can have a strongly negative impact on your life. Some charges will be punished with fines, but others will result in jail or prison time and leave you in a position of having to explain a criminal record to future employers. Some misdemeanor charges can even impact things like your right to own firearms in the future.
