As former Cuyahoga County Prosecutors my partners and I all handled the most serious types of cases- cases involving murder, rape, drug crimes, crimes of violence, and weapon crimes.  It is important that if you are charged with a serious crime that you seek out the best criminal lawyer, or criminal law firm that you can, and hire them for your defense.  A good criminal lawyer can make all the difference in the world.

How do you find the best?  You do your research.  There are many different resources out there but you need to be very careful on which resources you use.  There are a number of websites out there where an attorney can buy a ranking, or a rating, if he pays enough money.  This can complicate your search, greatly.

We recommend that you make use of search engines such as Google and independent websites such as AVVO where you do not need to worry about an attorney paying for a ranking.  On these websites you can search for criminal attorneys who practice in the area you are looking for, you can see what reviews they have received, you can even see verification of their credentials.

If you are serious about your defense look us up on these websites… look up “attorney joseph patituce reviews” or other such search phrases.  We have a very good reputation and I invite you to do your research on our firm.

If you have been charged, or are being investigated, give us a call at (440) 471-7784.  Ask to speak to me, Joe Patituce, I am a Cleveland Criminal Lawyer who takes on and handles very serious cases.  If I agree to take your case on I promise that you will be treated with the dignity and respect you deserve.
