What is Mitigation?  Mitigation is best described as things that you can do before and after sentencing to lessen your sentence.

You want to hire a Cincinnati lawyer that can tell you his plan to mitigate your charges and sentence if you are found guilty of a crime. It does not matter what you have been charged with, there is always something you can do.

Even if you are in jail there are things you can do like obeying the rules, no fighting, getting a job, or entering a treatment program.  If you are not in jail the possibilities are even better that you can be doing things to help your sentence.

Treatment is one of the best ways to show the prosecutor and judge you are helping yourself prevent future criminal charges.  This is good for them to hear because they will often give you credit for taking that effort and reward you with a lesser charge.

The judge will also like to hear you have completed treatment and that will likely greatly lessen your jail time.  If you have been charged with a crime, make sure the lawyer you hire has a plan for mitigation and not just an understanding of the law.
