Ohio crimes are not created equal. Like every state, Ohio categorizes its crimes into one of two broad categories — misdemeanors and felonies. Within those categories, there are 11 subcategories of crimes, five for misdemeanors and six for felonies. The first degree of each is the most serious of its parent category, save for felonies. In Ohio, there is such a thing as an “unclassified felony.” An unclassified felony is a classification reserved for the most two serious felonies in Ohio — murder and aggravated murder. Each of these crimes carries its own specific penalties, which are far more serious than a standard first-degree penalty.
Regardless of how serious the crime for which you were arrested is, our Springfield criminal defense attorneys are prepared to help you combat the charges and protect your freedom. Some charges we have successfully fought include the following:

We are always willing to represent our clients at trial and to present mitigating factors at sentencing if need be.

Very excellent lawyer. He has been my attorney for more then 5 years. I would recommend him to anyone he is the best.
Anthony VanNoy was a sign of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared to be limited and the possibilities of a satisfactory outcome seemed impossible. Not only was he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered a peace of mind to our family. My family and I will forever be grateful for his service, and I greatly recommend Mr. VanNoy without uncertainty.
I have worked with Anthony and his team over the past several years. They are not only top notch in what they do, but genuinely care for their client's long term well being. I highly recommend Anthony and team to anyone in need of legal assistance in times of trouble.
Their staff are truly professional,& Mr. Vannoy is a great lawyer.
They are awesome and very helpful
Attorney Vannoy, Handled my case with extreme competency. Beyond that his approach show that he was concerned about me as a person.
The Vannoy firm was very professional. I love how attentive and responsive everyone was to my needs and concerns about my case . I feel Anthony had my best interest and stopped at nothing until the best outcome was granted for my case.From the moment I had my initial meeting with the Vannoy firm I felt a sense of confidence and relief because I knew I was in good hands! - thank you (Sheriece) This is the BEST lawyer around..Anthony goes above and beyond! Even when I thought my case was done and over with he still made miracles happen.…
I had Kim Melchor from the Vannoy firm represent me and although this was the hardest time in my life, I never expected a lawyer and stranger to fight for me, not even for the glory of winning but because she believed in me and wanted me to have my life back. She did everything above and beyond to help me with not even just my case but my personal life after it falling to pieces during my trial. I'm so thankful there are lawyers out there that have a heart and want what's right and spend the extra time…
