STATE VS NEAL
In a case that received national and international media coverage, Adam represented an Akron pastor charged with Kidnapping, Felonious Assault, and Abduction. After extensive negotiations with the special prosecutors assigned to the case, and after extensive investigation by Attorney VanHo, the charges were reduced to a misdemeanor with the client receiving only a small fine and short-term probation.
STATE VS BROOM
In a case that received national and international attention, Adam represented the State of Ohio in litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio surrounding the attempted execution of Rommell Broom. The case was covered by such media outlets as the New York Times, CNN, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), and every major newspaper in Ohio.
STATE VS GAUDER
In a highly-publicized case that attracted national attention, Attorney Adam VanHo represented a Coverntry Township man accused of badly burning his infant son. After conducting an extensive investigation, which determined that there was no way the client could have caused the injuries, and then threatening to proceed with the trial, Adam was able to convince prosecutors to offer his client a stipulated polygraph, which the client passed. The charges were dismissed, and the client’s co-defendant later confessed that the client had nothing to do with the child’s injuries.
STATE VS HAYDEN
Attorney VanHo represented a boyfriend charged with Felonious Assault against his girlfriend. Following a detailed investigation of the case and confrontation of the State’s complaining witness, not only were all charges dismissed against the client, but the State’s complaining witness was charged and convicted with Perjury for her fictitious testimony before the Grand Jury.
