Profile

I focus primarily on Criminal and DUI cases. My Criminal and DUI litigation/trials allow me to get into the courtroom almost daily and use my advanced training and skills. I have been doing trial work since 1996 as a prosecutor in the Army. My DUI practice is a major part of my focus and allows me to review new DUI caselaw and research almost daily. My extensive felony trial experience pays off for clients in DUI cases due to the complex nature of felony trials. If I can try a complex murder trial effectively, then I am that much more effective in a DUI or misdemeanor trial. These experiences make me a better attorney in my other areas of practice/litigation. Preparation is the key to success in a courtroom. I give my personal guarantee that I will be the most prepared attorney in the courtroom for my client's case. When you pick my office to represent you, I will handle your case from beginning to end and not assign it to a law clerk or new graduate. I am available whenever my clients need me. There is no such thing as a "late" telephone call from a client or person that needs my help. My office telephone is answered 24 hours a day and I can be reached anytime on my cellular telephone; (614) 657-6477. My clients leave my office knowing their case is in good hands. I am in court nearly everyday working on my client's DUI, felony and misdemeanor cases. I am focused on criminal, DUI, traffic, general litigation. I have handled hundreds of felony cases and have death penalty experience; second chair on two cases, one trial to an acquittal of capital murder and one plea to a lower penalty. I have successfully conducted criminal felony, DUI, and misdemeanor jury trials since starting my practice in 2000 and additional criminal trials while a Prosecutor in the U.S. Army. I have extensive experience as featured on my firm website at http://www.funkhouserlaw.com/case-history.cfm.  Please check my website blog for recent DUI and Criminal cases at http://funkhouserlaw.blogspot.com/.
