TAKING THE FEAR OUT OF THE CRIMINAL PROCESS
At Mark Godbey & Associates, protecting what is important to you is what we do. Your freedom is priceless. Sometimes the only thing standing between you and a jail cell is the attorney you choose to represent you.
Our attorneys appear in both Federal and State courts. We represent individuals in all counties making up Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Because we appear in court nearly every day, we are familiar with the judges and prosecutors in all of these courts.
We have represented people charged with a variety of offenses, including murder, felonious assault, robbery, burglary, rape, sexual crimes, domestic violence, driving under the influence, drug possession, drug trafficking, non-payment of child support, theft, internet crimes, and traffic code offenses.
We believe in fighting for your rights, while also giving you excellent personal service. A good attorney should explain the charges against you, investigate what evidence the prosecution may have to support the charges, speak with witnesses and examine all of the evidence, negotiate the best possible plea bargain, explain your options between trial and plea, take your case to trial before a judge or jury, be sure the judge understands all mitigating factors in your case, and follow up regarding any post-trial motions after the case is over .
Having a reputable criminal defense attorney provides you with options that you may not otherwise have without good representation.
We’ll Answer Your Questions
If you are facing criminal charges, you probably have many questions and concerns. You’ll probably want to know such things as:
- Can you keep me out of jail?
- Can I get my bond lowered?
- When will I get to tell my side of the story?
- Will I lose my job?
- What about my driver’s license?
- Can I get this erased from my record?
- Do I have to register as a sexual offender?
- Should I do sobriety tests and what if I already did?
- Can I get probation or can I get put back on probation?
These are some of the most frequent questions asked by criminal defendants. We offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION to answer these and any other questions you may have and provide an exact fee quote.
We’ll Use Technology to Your Advantage
We use technology to gain every possible advantage when defending our clients. This includes available state of the art technology such as computer graphics or Power Point presentations. Such technology delivers a message to the judge or jury which they will remember when deliberating. There is no doubt that the use of technology greatly increases the impact on the finder of fact.
If You Are Charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI/OVI)
The law regarding Driving Under the Influence often changes. Our attorneys keep up to date when changes occur, in an effort to provide the best representation possible. A conviction has long term negative effects, financially, legally, and socially, which you must understand before making decisions about how to proceed in your case. There are many publications and websites that can give you more information. Click Here for an excellent manual and free report from DUIprocess.com, but remember, our defense attorneys keep current on the law and technology as it relates to DUI/OVI defense and can help with a free consultation.
If You Are Charged with a Sex Crime
Being accused of a sex crime can be especially difficult given the social stigma attached to such charges. Even an unfounded accusation contains negative moral ramifications for the individual. Our attorneys understand the strain and pressure these types of allegations can cause. We are experienced in how to represent individuals in such cases in a manner which protects the client’s reputation.
If You Are Charged with a Traffic Offense
In addition to potential jail time, being convicted of a traffic offense can be frustrating, inconvenient and costly, due to a license suspension, or points being assessed against you, or having your insurance rates increased. Our attorneys use their litigation and negotiation experience to get you the best possible result, so you can maintain your ability to drive and earn a living.
If You Are Charged with a White Collar Crime
Many of our “white collar” clients often ask us: “How did I manage to get myself into this situation?” and more importantly, “How do I resolve this problem?” Our attorneys are experienced at speaking with the accusing government agency (police, F.B.I., A.T.F., tax agencies, etc.) and negotiating a favorable conclusion.
If You Are Charged with an Internet Crime
Our lawyers understand the internet and the boundaries of this modern technology. The internet contains several problems for police when making accusations against someone for an internet crime. This can be a great benefit to the defendant if his/her attorney understands the technology involved. Protecting clients from the world wide web police requires up to the minute knowledge of the technology used, as well as the current state of the law as it relates to the internet.
