Gabrielle Ploplis, Attorney at Law
criminal defense lawyer based in & Serving ohio
I am a dedicated criminal defense attorney who has spent my career advocating for clients in some of the most complex and high-stakes matters in Ohio’s criminal courts. I have practiced criminal law at an advanced level, representing individuals facing charges ranging from unclassified felonies such as aggravated murder and first- and second-degree felonies to misdemeanor offenses. My experience spans the full spectrum of criminal defense advocacy, including trials, appeals, and post-conviction proceedings.
I am detail-oriented, creative, and committed to thinking outside the box to develop strategic, individualized defenses for every client. I pride myself on tireless advocacy—never cutting corners, always putting in the work, and standing beside my clients at every stage of the process.
I am a member of the Ohio Bar Association (OBA) and the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (OACDL). I am licensed to practice in both state and federal court, and have obtained training in capital case litigation and appellate advocacy in capital cases.
My training and experience allows me to bring a high level of skill and precision to the most serious matters in Ohio’s criminal justice system. Above all, I believe that every person deserves a powerful advocate who will fight relentlessly to protect their rights, their future, and their freedom.

The Process
The Law Office of Gabrielle Ploplis is a newly formed criminal defense law firm specializing in providing creative, strategic, and persistent representation for individuals accused or convicted of crimes in the state of Ohio.
At my core, I believe in compassion — in seeing the humanity in every person and standing up for those who have been silenced or mistreated by systems meant to protect them. My passion lies in helping others, fighting for fairness, and challenging the deep inequities that plague our criminal justice system. Too often, justice is not blind but biased — shaped by privilege, race, and circumstance. I am committed to confronting that injustice, advocating for meaningful reform, and working tirelessly to create a system that values dignity, accountability, and true equality. For me, this isn’t just a cause — it’s a calling to bring empathy and fairness to a place that desperately needs both.
Innovative Defense for Complex Cases
I became a criminal defense attorney because I believe no one should have to face the justice system alone. I have seen the harm it can inflict on people and their families, and I am committed to changing that. Too often, individuals are defined by their worst moments instead of their humanity. My work is to stand beside people during the hardest seasons of their lives, to fight for fairness, and to challenge injustice at every turn. If you or someone you love needs an advocate who will listen, protect, and fight, I am here. Reach out today to take the first step.
