Ohio law is quite explicit in regard to a person's right to communicate with an attorney upon being arrested.

 “After the arrest, detention, or any other taking into custody of a person, with or without warrant, such person shall be permitted forthwith facilities to communicate with an attorney at law of his choice who is entitled to practice in the courts of this state, or to communicate with any other person of his choice for the purpose of obtaining counsel.  Such communication may be made by a reasonable number of telephone calls or in any other reasonable manner.  Such person shall have the right to be visited immediately by an attorney at law so obtained who is entitled to practice in the courts of this state, and to consult with him privately.  No officer or other agent of this state shall prevent, attempt to prevent, or advise such person against the communication, visit, or consultation provided for by this section.

Whoever violates this section shall be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.”
