Our team of Beavercreek criminal defense lawyers handles every type of criminal law charge in Ohio.
Drug Charges
We vigorously defend against drug charges by attacking any case brought against you by the state or the federal government. Whether you are facing drug possession, distribution, or manufacturing charges, a strong defense is crucial to your life and future.
We understand the deep impact that DUI/OVI criminal charges can have on our clients’ lives, so we work diligently to fight the charges as well as reduce the collateral damage that typically comes from these types of criminal cases.
Traffic Charges
Traffic charges can cause more than a headache and lead to fines, jail time, and license suspensions. Some traffic violations, such as reckless driving, are considered crimes and should be defended against vigorously to avoid life-impacting consequences and a criminal record.
Weapon Charges
Ohio prosecutors seek to make examples of those charged with weapons crimes. We take on any weapons-related criminal offense charge you may be facing, including unlawful possession, felon in possession of a firearm, and firearms distribution cases in both federal and state courts.
Domestic Violence
We defend individuals charged with domestic violence stemming from all manner of circumstances, including cases dealing with married couples, family members, and live-in partners. We work hard to shield clients from criminal penalties and collateral fallout associated with these charges.
Theft Charges
Our approach to theft charges is quality legal representation. From embezzlement charges to charges related to retail theft and theft of work, we have fought to have our clients’ charges reduced, dismissed, or dropped. We also fight for favorable verdicts when a trial is necessary.
Sex Crimes
Being convicted of a sex crime comes with life-changing consequences, such as jail time, sex offender registration, and a criminal record that works against employment hunters. At Gounaris Abboud, we work hard to shield you from these consequences by mounting an effective defense to the charges against you.
Assaults
Assault, aggravated assault, and other crimes of this nature can land you behind bars for a long time. A strong defense from our team can go far in cases such as these, leading to mitigated outcomes to serious criminal charges.
White Collar Crimes
White-collar crime is on the rise, and so are related prosecutions. Sadly, some prosecutors become overzealous and “find” criminals wherever they look. Regardless of your circumstances, we aggressively defend you from charges like mortgage fraud, money laundering, and wire fraud.

I’ve been fighting case after case since February 2023 and Tony got every case dismissed and we went to trail against the police and got a not guilty verdict. He made me feel like family and constantly reassured me that he had me but was 100% honest about every possibility. He is by far the best lawyer I’ve ever had and unfortunately I’ve been fighting cases since I was 16 years old when I was tried as an adult. If you’re having an issue this is definitely the firm to contact.

Mr. Abboud was amazingly effective, responsive and detailed handling our case. He was genuinely concerned to secure the best possible outcome for our circumstance and the favorable outcome he achieved far exceeded our expectations. Our case was a relatively minor traffic case but Mr. Abboud treated it as if was the most important matter he had at hand.
We received detailed and timely communication from Mr. Abboud's staff as well. We were never left wondering what to do or what steps were being taken on our behalf.
Knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, experienced and effective - Mr. Abboud is exactly what you want for legal representation. We are forever appreciative for his efforts and results.

Tony was amazing in my cases. I was pending charges on drug trafficking and was charged with firearms under disability facing a felony. Tony ended up talking them out of charging me with drug trafficking and got the fire arms under disability completely dismissed. He got me all my possessions and money back as well. Only stepped in the court room one time and he took care of the rest. Never did I have to talk to any police or prosecutors or anything. Tony and his office are all super nice and super cool and professional people. They made me feel like I was not to worry about anything and he will get everything taken care. He was a man of his word and did exactly what he said. If you’re in trouble definitely hit him up. He will get you taken care of 100%. They are the best around.

After reviewing quite a few firms, I knew this was the place to go. I have had the privilege working with Lauren and NIck, and they were able to figure out things that I would have never thought of. They genuinely care about their clients and worked hand and hand to come with the best results! I'd highly recommend them! Thanks again!

I was lucky enough to make the right phone call while looking for legal representation. Tony responded to my initial inquiry within minutes. I never felt rushed or judged in any way. He makes it a point to get to know his clients on a personal level. Tony was always personable, dedicated and genuine. I highly recommend Gounaris Abboud if you’re looking for legal help!!
