Steadfast Criminal Defense In Newark, Ohio | 30 Years Of Trial Experience

If you are facing serious charges, you deserve a defense that meets that challenge with equal force. My name is Robert Calesaric. Since 1994, I have fought for the accused in Newark, Licking County and central Ohio. I use my three decades of experience to level the playing field.

I founded my law firm in 2001 to provide high-level advocacy for every client. At Calesaric Law, I focus on OVI defense and serious criminal matters. As a former prosecutor, I have a perspective that many defense lawyers lack. I do not settle when I should fight. Most attorneys prefer plea deals. I prefer trial-ready preparation. Whether you are facing a felony or a misdemeanor, I am ready for battle. I do not just practice criminal defense: I have mastered it.

A Former Prosecutor With Over 200 Jury Trials And Technical OVI Training

You need an attorney who understands the other side’s playbook. My background as a Licking County prosecutor will help enable me to dismantle the prosecution’s case against you. I know where the police make mistakes. I also know how to challenge breathalyzer results and field sobriety tests.

Because I hold several technical certifications, I bring technical precision to every case. Instead of just looking at the law, I examine the science behind the evidence.

What Do My Past Clients Say?

There is no better proof than what my previous clients have to say. It is my honor to have achieved sterling results that protected the rights of so many people.
