I actually had 2 F4 convictions but i got ILC for one.
It is unclear what you are asking here. Your DV convictions will appear on a background check. If you are asking about getting them off your record, or sealing your record. Ohio does not allow sealing of records that pertain to violence, so you would not qualify to seal your record.
They could be charged with intimidating a witness. It’s likely the defendant would get charged as well. Police and prosecutors will assume he is orchestrating this. Visits and calls should be documented to show that isn’t the case if it isn’t.
You should hire a lawyer and prepare yourself for a long schlog
The short answer is no.
If by "case" you mean there are criminal charges pending against the accused, then it is not uncommon at all to hire a defense lawyer. Hiring a defense lawyer does not meant the charges will be dropped. The court likely has a victim advocate too that will consult... Read more »

If you receive a subpoena to testify, then you go and testify. The court will then decide what happens to him. He should use the Find a Lawyer tab to get an attorney to represent him.
I fear for my life and children’s lives because I know what he is capable of, I never reported him because he would always threaten me if I was to call cops so nothing is on file but he keeps talking bad about me and spreading rumors and trying to get people to add me on fb and trying to get...

It is unlikely that you could get a protection order for things that happened a year ago. If you were never married, you are the sole custodian of the child, and you do not have to permit him to see your children. He would have to go to court to prove paternity and obtain parental rights, but you... Read more »
The officer took a statement from my ex-husband, when I received the discovery I noticed the statement is filled out by what looks to be a female’s handwriting, but I know for a fact that it’s not my ex husbands hand writing. His name is at the beginning of the statement and he signed and dated... Read more »
Not knowing all the details, but as long as it's his words, his evidence, it doesn't matter if he wrote it or dictated it to someone. Often police officers will take the statement, write as they are speaking with the witness and then have the witness sign the statement.
I was put on probation ans assigned to classes. I have nothing to do with the case
It kinda sounds like it’s already over. So you should probably just do the classes and stay out of trouble until your probation ends.
A standard misdemeanor has a statute of limitations of 2 years. So yep.
my son is living with me because he has a protection order for domestic violence from his wife so he cannot have contact with his wife. he started staying in my home three months ago. Since then I have been verbally and mentally abused by him and have had to call law enforcement for protection... Read more »
You should get a protection order to get him out immediately. If he makes a verbal threat, or actual physical assault, that should be enough. Talk to the police. And then use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney to help you deal with the eviction to do it properly and to... Read more »
We got in a heated argument and we kind of just wrestled around and i was so mad I called the cops I wasnt hurt just mad. Now hes charged with domestic violence. I didn't want all that to happen.
Prosecutors generally will not simply drop a DV because the victim doesn’t want to proceed. Too many real victims don’t want to. He should be working with an attorney and follow the attorney’s advice.
Yes, they can. He ought to get an attorney.
Aggravated assault?
He could charged with a felonious assault, which is a felony 2. He needs to get a lawyer.

He really ought to either hire an attorney or ask the court to appoint one.

The police who responded could testify. It is up to the court to decide. If you have been issued a subpoena, if you don't appear to testify, you could be subject to arrest. He should retain an attorney.
The father doesn't have any court ordered visitation rights but my 12 year old son wanted to go visit with him so I allowed it. We met up at my sons counseling appointment and the counselor reported the incident to CPS. The father has a violent record and my son and I are afraid he may show up and... Read more »
It's already been reported to CPS, but you can report it to the police along with the theft of son's property. If father makes threats, obtain a protection order.
The Court may issue a warrant. Depending on the severity, will be determinative if the Prosecutor pursues the charges. The Court does not like to separate families, nor create more adversity. My advice is to speak to the prosecutor.
My girlfriend and I are both 17 in the State of Ohio. Her parents do not like me for various reasons, and the only way my girlfriend and I can communicate is at public school, and various ways we find to text each other. Her parents threaten that if we don't stop seeing/talking to each other, that... Read more »
The threshold for a Protection Order is "imminent harm", and the Parents can file an Ex-Parte Order documenting the behavior. Regardless if the Ex-Parte is granted, a full hearing will be scheduled. The best recourse is to reflect as to why the parents disapprove of you....and perhaps adjust.
