Arrested in Westerville or Delaware County? We Can Help.
Westerville sits on the line between Franklin and Delaware Counties, which means where your case is heard can depend on exactly where the stop occurred. That can affect which court, which prosecutors, and which procedures apply — a detail that catches many people off guard.
Enforcement is active along the I-270, State Route 3 (Westerville Road), and Cleveland Avenue corridors, and around the Uptown Westerville area. Wherever your stop happened, the firm can help you protect your license and record in the first critical days.
Westerville Mayor's Court OVI Cases: Our Defense Approach
Many first-offense OVI and misdemeanor cases arising in the city are heard in the Westerville Mayor's Court. Like other Ohio mayor's courts, it is not a court of record and cannot hold jury trials, which shapes both the opportunities and the limits of a defense there.
The firm evaluates whether a favorable resolution — such as a reduction to reckless operation — can be reached in the Mayor's Court, or whether it's in your interest to transfer the case to the county municipal court for a jury trial or evidentiary hearing. Because Westerville straddles two counties, that analysis is especially important here.
Confirm the current Westerville Mayor's Court location, hours, and personnel before relying on them; court details change over time.
OVI & Criminal Defense Across the Westerville Area
Beyond OVI, the firm handles the full range of misdemeanor and felony charges for Westerville-area clients — theft, assault, drug, and domestic matters among them — in both the Franklin and Delaware County courts.
The approach is always the same: personal attention from the attorney himself, a defense built on the specific facts, and a focus on protecting your future.
