KY Criminal Defense Attorney: Traffic Tickets, Misdemeanors, Business Crime

Obi Law Group’s Criminal Defense practice counsels individuals and businesses in all aspects of criminal defense and administrative investigations. If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you are likely under tremendous stress, knowing that a criminal conviction could have significant negative consequences for you. Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony, whether you are accused of a first offense or you already have a lengthy arrest record, you probably know that you are facing the prospect of fines, restrictions of your rights and privileges, probation or parole, and jail or prison. To help you avoid these penalties and collateral consequences of conviction, you need someone on your side providing heartfelt counsel.  

The Obi Law Gorup provides aggressive defense strategies and a commitment to protecting the rights of his clients accused of misdemeanor and felony crimes. His experience, skill, and dedication have helped him to win tough cases for his clients in state and federal courts across Kentucky. 

The Obi Law Group provides legal services in the following areas: 

Traffic Violations

People issued misdemeanor traffic tickets in Kentucky face not only fines and potentially jail but also higher car insurance rates and possible license suspensions in Kentucky. Civil infraction traffic tickets carry civil penalties but no jail. Traffic convictions may be used against the drivers in future civil lawsuits. And if defendants ignore or forget to address their misdemeanor traffic citations, a bench warrant will issue for their arrest.

People cited for traffic violations in Kentucky  are strongly encouraged to retain a Louisville, Kentucky traffic ticket lawyer skilled in getting traffic charges dismissed or reduced to “non-moving violations” carrying no derogatory penalties or points on your license within Kentucky.  In most cases, defendants with legal representation never have to appear in court, which is extremely beneficial for people with day jobs or who live out of state.

Misdemeanors

Expungement

Depending on the circumstances, most states allow residents who have been convicted of a crime to have their record cleared, or expunged. Strictly speaking, an expungement is a court-ordered process by which one’s arrest or criminal record is sealed, or erased.

It is important to note that even though an expunged record does not show up in most standard background checks, candidates for public employment applications, professional licenses, and gun permit applications, for example, must still disclose the arrest and/or conviction. But these records don’t just vanish. The record is simply removed from public view. Additionally, that expungement can be quickly undone if you are later charged with a subsequent criminal offense.

White Collar Crimes

 Because of our business and commercial focus, we place a focus on business and financial crimes. Our team provides regulatory counseling, compliance and monitoring, internal investigations, professional license defense, and white collar criminal defense to help you protect what matters most. We bring substantive insight to every engagement; whether navigating an in-house investigation, responding to subpoenas and search warrants, preparing for interviews and testimony, handling complicated sentencing matters, negotiating non-prosecution, deferred prosecution, plea agreements or trying cases when necessary.

While most white-collar cases involve non-violent conduct, serious criminal and regulatory offenses can unfold in seemingly harmless, professional settings. We understand that even a hint of criminal conduct can damage an otherwise promising career and business.  We aggressively address white-collar criminal charges to obtain the best results for our clients, with the hope of keeping the cases out of court.
