Conspiracy Lawyer in Columbus

ORC § 2923.01

Conspiracy Defined

  • Planning or helping another with;
  • The commission of a crime;
  • With purpose to commit, promote, or facilitate the commission of the crime; and
  • Taking a step in furtherance of such crime.

Overview & Potential Penalties

The penalties that a court can impose on an individual guilty of conspiracy to commit a criminal offense in Ohio, vary greatly with the seriousness of the crime. If murder is involved, it is a felony of the first degree and can be punished by a sentence of life in prison. Notably, the planned-for crime does not even have to be carried out to commit conspiracy. The reason conspiracy is punished so severely is that people are typically more likely to carry out a crime when they are committing it with a group of people.

At Funkhouser Law, from the moment a client walks through the door, we presume that they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. As such, we work hard to accomplish the most favorable outcome for each of our clients. 

If you have been accused of a crime under a conspiracy theory, please call Funkhouser Law at (614) 756-2154 for a free consultation with an experienced, peer-rated lawyer.
