About Gounaris Abboud, LPA

Gounaris Abboud, LPA is an Ohio law firm headquartered in Dayton, with offices in Springboro and West Chester. The firm is focused on criminal defense, Ohio OVI/DUI defense, and federal criminal defense. Led by founding partners Nicholas G. Gounaris and Antony “Tony” Abboud, our firm represents people facing criminal accusations, arrests, investigations, and charges in Dayton, the Miami Valley, Southwest Ohio, and throughout Ohio.

Our attorneys bring more than 50 years of combined legal experience to criminal matters ranging from first-time misdemeanors and OVI allegations to serious felony, federal, and trial-level cases. Nick Gounaris and Tony Abboud are former prosecutors, and both have served as magistrates in the Dayton-area court system. We use that perspective to examine how a case was investigated, how evidence was obtained, what the prosecution must prove, and which options may help protect a client’s freedom, record, career, license, and future.

Clients come to our firm during stressful, unfamiliar, and often urgent moments. We provide one-on-one attention, explain legal options clearly, and work to build a defense strategy around the individual facts of each case. We do not judge our clients. We defend them.

The firm’s attorneys also host the Legal Chaos Podcast, where they discuss legal issues and criminal-law themes in an educational, public-facing format.

Gounaris Abboud, LPA is a criminal defense law firm serving clients who need help with criminal charges, police investigations, DUI/OVI allegations, and federal criminal matters.

DUI/OVI Defense

Related DUI/OVI resources: DUI/OVI Defense, First OVI Offense, Second OVI Offense, Third OVI Offense, Underage OVI, Administrative License Suspension, DUI Sobriety Checkpoints, and Illegal Police Stops.

Ohio uses the term OVI, meaning Operating a Vehicle Impaired. Many people still use DUI or drunk-driving language when searching for help. Our attorneys defend clients in both the legal and practical issues that follow an OVI arrest, including court charges, license suspensions, vehicle consequences, employment concerns, and the effect of a conviction on a person’s future.

  • We defend clients in cases involving:
  • First-time OVI allegations
  • Repeat, second, and third OVI allegations
  • Felony OVI allegations
  • Underage OVI and OVUAC allegations
  • Drug-related OVI and marijuana OVI allegations
  • Breath, blood, and urine testing issues
  • Field-sobriety-test issues
  • Administrative license suspensions
  • CDL and professional-driver OVI allegations
  • Open-container allegations
  • Sobriety checkpoints
  • Illegal traffic stops
  • Vehicle immobilization and forfeiture issues
  • Physical-control allegations

Clients often contact us immediately after an arrest because they want to understand what will happen to their license, job, court date, and criminal record. We evaluate the traffic stop, the officer’s observations, field-sobriety testing, chemical testing, and the evidence the government intends to use. An OVI arrest is not a conviction, and the prosecution has the burden to prove its case.

Drug Charges and Federal Drug Crimes

Related drug-charge resources: Drug Charges, Drug Possession, Drug Trafficking, Drug Manufacturing, Marijuana Charges, and Federal Drug Crimes.

We defend clients accused of drug-related offenses ranging from possession and paraphernalia allegations to trafficking, manufacturing, prescription-drug matters, and federal drug investigations. Drug cases can involve search-and-seizure questions, confidential informants, controlled buys, laboratory evidence, digital evidence, vehicles, residences, and mandatory-minimum sentencing concerns.

Our drug-crime representation includes:

  • Drug possession
  • Possession of controlled substances
  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug manufacturing
  • Methamphetamine-related allegations
  • Cocaine possession allegations
  • Prescription-drug allegations
  • Marijuana-related criminal charges
  • Drug paraphernalia allegations
  • Illegal conveyance allegations
  • Federal drug investigations and charges

We review whether law enforcement had a lawful basis for a stop, search, seizure, interrogation, or evidence collection. We also examine the reliability and completeness of the prosecution’s evidence. The appropriate defense depends on the facts, the evidence, the charge, and the court involved.

Violent Crimes, Domestic Violence, and Sex-Crime Defense

Related defense resources: Violent Crimes, Domestic Violence, Assault Charges, and Sex Crimes.

Allegations involving violence, domestic conflict, or sexual conduct can carry serious legal, professional, and personal consequences. These cases may involve protective orders, conflicting witness accounts, digital communications, forensic evidence, prior relationship history, and intense public stigma.

We represent clients in matters involving:

  • Domestic violence
  • Assault and aggravated assault
  • Murder and manslaughter allegations
  • Robbery and burglary allegations
  • Rape and sexual-battery allegations
  • Internet-related sex-crime allegations
  • Allegations involving minors
  • Sex-offender-registration issues
  • Weapons-related allegations connected to violent-crime charges

We provide discreet, attentive representation and work to ensure that the client’s rights, the evidence, and the full circumstances of the allegation receive careful consideration.

Theft, Property Crimes, and White-Collar Allegations

Theft and property-crime allegations can affect employment, professional licensing, future opportunities, and reputation. White-collar allegations can involve complex financial documents, electronic evidence, business records, and federal or multi-jurisdictional investigations.

We defend clients accused of matters involving:

  • Theft and shoplifting
  • Burglary and robbery
  • Vandalism and property damage
  • Fraud and financial-crime allegations
  • Forgery and counterfeiting
  • Embezzlement
  • Internet-related criminal allegations
  • Federal white-collar matters

Our attorneys review the evidence concerning identity, intent, ownership, value, documentation, and the other issues the prosecution must establish.

Federal Criminal Defense

Federal charges and federal investigations require an understanding of federal procedure, evidence, sentencing, and the way federal agencies build a case. We represent clients facing federal criminal matters in the Southern District of Ohio and other appropriate federal proceedings.

Our federal criminal-defense work includes matters involving:

  • Federal conspiracy charges
  • Federal drug crimes
  • Gun violations
  • Internet sex-crime allegations
  • Federal sentencing issues
  • White-collar allegations
  • Forgery and counterfeiting

  • Prescription-drug charges

  • Federal appeals

Nicholas Gounaris and Tony Abboud both appear in federal court. Our team also includes a former federal investigator who assists with case evaluation, evidence review, and trial preparation.

What Makes Gounaris Abboud Different

Focus on Criminal Defense, OVI/DUI, and Federal Criminal Defense

Gounaris Abboud has built a distinct practice identity around defending people accused of crimes in Ohio. Our attorneys work with clients who need help immediately after an arrest, while under investigation, after a charge has been filed, or when a case has moved into trial, sentencing, appeal, or post-conviction stages.

Our firm’s strongest focus is criminal defense, OVI/DUI defense, and federal criminal defense. This concentrated legal work allows our attorneys to stay focused on the courts, procedures, evidence issues, and constitutional questions that matter when the government accuses someone of a crime.

Potential Client-Facing Positioning

Prospective clients may seek Gounaris Abboud for:

  • Dayton criminal-defense representation
  • Ohio criminal-defense attorneys
  • OVI/DUI defense in Dayton and Southwest Ohio
  • Former-prosecutor criminal-defense representation
  • Federal criminal defense in Ohio
  • Drug-charge defense
  • Domestic-violence defense
  • Sex-crime defense
  • Theft, fraud, or weapons-charge defense
  • License-suspension defense
  • A criminal-defense attorney who can explain the process clearly
  • A law firm with offices in Dayton, Springboro, and West Chester
  • A team prepared to investigate, negotiate, and try criminal cases

Strong Communication and Accessibility

Criminal allegations often arise without warning. A client may be arrested at night, contacted by investigators, served with paperwork, or have a court date before they understand what is happening. We are available 24/7 for free, confidential case evaluations because urgent legal problems do not wait for business hours.

We aim to make communication clear and practical. Clients should understand what the immediate issue is, what deadlines may apply, what documents or evidence may matter, and what the next step may be. We encourage clients to ask questions and seek clarification when they do not understand the process.

Knowledge of Criminal Defense Law and Procedure

Criminal defense requires more than a general understanding of the law. A defense can depend on the facts of a traffic stop, an officer’s basis for a search, the handling of a chemical test, an interview, a warrant, an identification procedure, a digital-evidence issue, or the specific element of an offense the government must prove.

Our attorneys’ former-prosecutor and magistrate experience gives us perspective on how criminal cases move through the legal system. We prepare carefully, review the available evidence, and evaluate legal issues from the earliest stage of the case.

Compassionate and Client-Centered Approach

Clients are more than case numbers. We understand that a criminal allegation can place pressure on a client’s work, family, education, finances, and mental well-being. We provide representation without judgment and work to make clients feel heard, informed, and respected.

A client should be able to ask questions, raise concerns, and understand the choices available in the case. The final decisions in a criminal matter belong to the client. Our role is to provide candid legal guidance, explain the risks and options, and advocate for the client’s interests.

Clear and Realistic Legal Guidance

We do not make outcome guarantees. Instead, we explain the legal issues, the strengths and challenges of a case, the evidence that may matter, and the options that may be available. That may include discussing dismissal possibilities, suppression issues, negotiations, diversion, a plea, trial, sentencing, or appeal depending on the facts.

Clear advice is especially important in criminal cases because many decisions have significant and lasting consequences. We work to make sure clients have the information they need to make informed choices.

Willingness to Handle Serious and Difficult Criminal Matters

Our attorneys handle cases that may involve serious allegations, complicated evidence, federal agencies, prior convictions, employment consequences, professional licenses, driving privileges, or potential incarceration. We understand that the stakes can be high, and we take the responsibility of criminal defense seriously.

We also represent clients who seek counsel before charges are filed, including people contacted by police, investigators, or federal agents. Early legal advice can be important when a person is facing an investigation or deciding whether to speak with law enforcement.
