Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

Dear Concerned Parents: Since your Son is over 18 and considered an adult in Ohio, he is solely responsible for his violations of law. Even though he used your auto in the crime, you are neither culpable or responsible, unless you loaned him the car with the specific intent, knowledge and your consent that he could use it to commit a crime.

Please be assured you have no liability. However, please retain an Attorney to represent you, in the event the law enforcement authorities wish to question you, since you are entitled to remain silent and deny any involvement. (That's my two cents' worth of legal counsel.)

Then if anyone wishes to ask you questions, say: "Call my lawyer!".

Good luck and God Bless... J. Norman Stark, Cleveland, Ohio.
