Criminal Defense
Who We Are
Our Criminal Defense team is led by Rob Glickman, a former Assistant Prosecutor who served in Cuyahoga County’s Major Trial Unit where he handled high profile criminal cases. In 2001, Rob was appointed by then-Governor Bob Taft to serve as Judge for the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. While on the bench, Rob presided over cases involving complex civil and criminal issues.
We have a team of criminal defense attorneys with the skills and experience to handle criminal matters ranging from minor offenses to complex felony and white-collar criminal cases. We protect our clients by seeking supplemental counsel from lawyers in other practice groups of the firm, including domestic relations, employment, and tax, to best address each individual case.
White-collar case defense benefits from our experience in tax, banking & finance, business, and corporate, commercial, and civil litigation.
How We Help
We assist clients by supporting them through the criminal justice system. In every case we handle, we work as a team to develop an effective defense. Pretrial motion practice is a critical part of our strategy and often includes working closely with outside experts.
