DOUGLAS A. FUNKHOUSER

COLUMBUS

Columbus’ Criminal Defense Attorney Now in his 24th year of practicing law, Douglas Funkhouser developed a wealth of legal experience and knowledge in criminal law, which enables him to advise and represent defendants in all serious criminal matters.

Funkhouser has successfully defended thousands of clients in felony and misdemeanor cases of every type including drug possession, felonious assault, sexual misconduct, firearm violations and drunk driving.

Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful events of a person’s life. “Individuals need an attorney with a depth of experience to properly advise them about their case and deliver effective representation,” Funkhouser says.

“Good counsel helps individuals from making mistakes that can adversely affect their case,” says Funkhouser. “I work hard to ensure every person I represent receives a fair trial and the best outcome for their case. As an attorney, that is what keeps me motivated.”

Dedicated, Effective Advocates for Clients’ Rights “Our clients are people, individuals—not insurance companies or big corporations,” says Barry D. Levy, senior partner of O’Connor, Acciani & Levy Co., LPA. This principle underlies every aspect of our practice, whether it’s helping clients defend their rights against a big insurance company or holding pharmaceutical companies or medical device manufacturers accountable for dangerous products sold to the public.

The attorneys of O’Connor, Acciani & Levy practice in the areas of personal injury, defective products, harmful pharmaceuticals and faulty medical devices, construction and work injuries, disability, and business litigation. These varied practice areas allow us to serve our clients with an assortment of legal needs. Our firm is characterized by a dogged determination to see each case through to a successful conclusion, even if it means taking a case to trial.

Our firm has a nationwide network of trial attorneys with whom we have worked as co-counsel on everything from dangerous drugs and faulty medical devices to trucking accidents, railroad accidents and defective products. We handle cases and litigate throughout the country to serve our clients’ needs.

We plan on continuing our long tradition of fearless advocacy on behalf of regular people. To accomplish this, we have brought in a new generation of trial attorneys steadfastly committed to working hard to bring about a successful outcome for each and every client.
