CRIMINAL LAW
At the Dye Law Office we have been engaged in criminal trial work at the State and Federal Levels and Plaintiffs Personal injury cases continuously, since 1971. Each year we represent people charged with crimes ranging from simple traffic offenses to murder and all crimes in between. Our record speaks for itself. Here are the results of the last three cases with LIFE IMPRISONMENT PENALTIES that Lew Dye has tried in front of a jury. The facts are taken from the actual docketing statements from the Franklin County Clerk of Court. Our record speaks for itself.
NO MATTER THE SIZE OR SEVERITY OF THE CHARGES,
OUR TEAM WILL SEE THAT THE RIGHTS OF OUR CLIENTS ARE PROTECTED.
