Change Venue Request Guide

Full Conversation

I feel that the judge is being biased towards us in the county we committed our crime to the point we want to change venues
Hello ****. In order to give more accurate information, could you please tell me which state you are located in? Different states have different laws regarding changing venues.
Ohio
In Ohio, you can request a change of venue if you believe the judge is biased. Here are the steps:
- File a motion for change of venue.
- Provide evidence of bias.
- Wait for judge's decision.
Please consult a lawyer for personalized advice.
This judge will not approve
If you believe the judge will not approve your motion for a change of venue, you may want to consider filing a judicial conduct complaint. Keep in mind, this is a serious step, and you should consult with a legal professional before proceeding.
Do you know of an attorney that is pro bono because the public defender i have doesn't get along with my judge
Sure, ****. It would be best to reach out to legal aid organizations in Ohio as they often provide pro bono services. You can try the Ohio State Legal Services Association or the Legal Aid Society of Columbus. Remember to explain your situation thoroughly.
Thanks for your help this is a hot mess and I feel stuck
I understand your situation, ****. I recommend contacting the Ohio State Bar Association's Pro Bono Program, which connects low-income individuals with volunteer lawyers. They may be able to help. Remember, every legal situation is unique and deserves careful attention. Good luck.
Thanks so much
You're welcome, ****. I'm glad I could help. If you have any other legal questions in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Good luck with your situation.
