Whether you have been charged with misdemeanor trespass, an OVI, or even murder, the first step in your case is always the same – Arraignment. An arraignment is your first appearance in court on a criminal case. The prosecutor will read the charge(s) filed against you and some facts about the allegations, your attorney will respond with relevant “good facts” about you, and ultimately the judge or magistrate holding the hearing will decide on bond. Bond (otherwise known as “bail” or “bail bond”) is the pre-trial restrictions a court imposes on a criminal defendant while their case is pending. A typical example you may be familiar with is a cash bond, in which a court orders you to pay a certain amount of money before they release you from their custody.
Many rental property owners ask whether they should create an LLC. An LLC can protect personal assets by limiting liability in lawsuits and provides added privacy since the property is listed under the company name, not the individual’s. However, owning property in an LLC may require hiring an attorney for certain legal matters, such as evictions. Property owners should weigh both the protections and obligations before deciding.
Ohio is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who is determined to be at fault for an auto accident is subsequently liable for injuries and damages. Damages can mean property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc. For this reason, fault and/or liability in an auto accident is often heavily disputed by drivers. This is also why Ohio law mandates drivers to carry auto insurance.
