Attorney Villegas Secures Success in Miami County

Mr. Villegas delivered a significant legal victory in Logan County. Our client was faced a multitude of serious charges, including Felonious Assault, Abduction, Strangulation, Disrupting Public Services, Using Weapons while Intoxicated, Resisting Arrest, OVI, and Driving Under OVI Suspension. Thanks to Mr. Villegas' strategic representation, Five charges, including Felonious Assault and Abduction, were dismissed. The remaining four charges, involving OVI, resulted in our client being placed on community control. Additionally, a mandatory 10-day sentence was imposed due to the OVI being the second within 10 years. This outcome reflects Mr. Villegas' skillful advocacy and dedication to achieving the best possible results for our clients.

Mr. Bucio has spent the last several months side by side his client in Miami County who was being charged with four (4) Felony One Rape, Felony Two Robbery, Felony Three Strangulation, Felony Three Abduction. Facing up to over 40 years in Prison. After spending half of this year working diligently, overnight, nonstop in an effort to prove our clients innocence Mr. Bucio did just that. After declining every plea offer that came our clients way, Mr. Bucio knew his client’s innocence would prevail above all. In the end Mr. Bucio was able to demonstrate that the allegations of Sexual Assault and Domestic Abuse were unfounded. Having an experienced attorney by your side makes all the difference in a criminal matter. While other attorneys would have sought negotiated plea deal in this matter Mr. Bucio aligns his goals in each case the same as the clients. We are happy to announce that this case has been closed and all the charges were dismissed.
