Maumee, OH Habitual-offender state

Ohio enhances penalties for repeat felonies through habitual-offender sentencing laws, so prior convictions raise the stakes — and the cost — of defending a new felony charge here.

Felony defense attorneys in Ohio usually charge a flat fee for a case resolved by plea and bill hourly for trials, and prior convictions can sharply increase both the exposure and the work. Ohio sets the felony classes, sentencing ranges, and enhancements — which change and are often severe — so confirm them locally. A public defender is available if you cannot afford a lawyer.
