Traffic Law/DUI-Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction on DUI/DWI charges may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license, and possible jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.

- Baker, Adam:
There are literally hundreds of legal recourses that can help you reduce your sentence to a non-criminal charge or get your case thrown out altogether. Our firm is experienced in this area and can use it to your advantage. If the arresting police officer did not follow due process in any aspect of the arrest, we will find out and, in many cases, use that information to get your case thrown out entirely. This is why it is crucial to have an attorney on your side. You must never go alone to defend yourself against a drunk driving charge.

Drunk
driving is considered a serious offense in
all
states. The DUI statute in the state where the
violation occurred will determine the extent of the
punishment for a first-time offender. Generally,
a
first-time offender convicted of the offense
(which
is usually considered a misdemeanor) is
ordered
to pay a fine and may be sentenced to a
minimum
term of imprisonment. A suspension
of his
or her driver's license will usually occur as
well.
There are certain "programs" available to
first-time offenders, which allow the defendant's
punishment to be decreased under certain
circumstances. Further, there are a number of
defenses to a charge of drunk driving that an
experienced attorney can raise on your behalf. If
you
cannot afford to hire an attorney, the court
will
appoint an attorney for you free of charge.

DUI / OVI
If you or a loved one has been accused of drunk driving, it is
important to retain an attorney quickly. An experienced OVI / DUI
lawyer, such as our OVI / DUI attorneys can use many legal strategies
to help reduce fines or jail time. Additionally, if the police used
invalid methods of search and seizure during an arrest, an attorney can
possibly even get a case thrown out of court.

A drunk driving charge can result in serious consequences including driver's license suspension, jail time, fines and a criminal conviction. To fight your case, your attorney must find weaknesses in the case of the prosecutor. You never know where the weakness will exist, so you need to dig relentlessly and be willing to exploit even the smallest issues.

Any type of criminal charge is the most serious event in most people's lives — it doesn't matter if it's a misdemeanor speeding ticket or a felony RICO charge. If you or a family member is facing a criminal charge, you should treat it very seriously. Even certain misdemeanors or minor offenses can result in jail time and hefty fines. What's more, the negative consequences of a criminal conviction can last long into the future.

DUI/OVI in Ohio
Under Ohio law, operating a motor vehicle while having an amount of alcohol, drugs or a combination thereof that impairs your physical or mental abilities to an appreciable degree is a punishable offense. No blood, breath or urine test is required to convict you of this offense.
Our firm is dedicated to providing a strong criminal defense to challenge the DUI charges against you. We have the skill and experience to negotiate a resolution in your favor or, if no acceptable agreement can be reached, aggressively defend you in court.
Depending on previous offenses, your license may be automatically suspended for a period of 90 days to five years. This administrative license suspension is independent of any jail term, fine or other criminal penalty imposed in court for a DUI offense. However, it may be appealed -- but only within five days of the alleged offense>

You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own
situation. Charges of drunk driving and traffic violations can get
costly on many levels, including fines, loss of driving privileges,
higher auto insurance, and even jail time.
For a first offense, penalties include a mandatory three-day jail sentence, a mandatory six-month license suspension and up to $1,000 in fines. A second offense increases penalties to 10-day mandatory jail stay, a one-year license suspension and a mandatory $1,000 fine. A third offense is even worse — 30 days mandatory minimum jail sentence, a three-year license suspension and a fine of up to $2750. Employment consequences can also result from a criminal record, which can be devastating in today's challenging economy.

- Mayle Law Office: In
Ohio, what is commonly called 'DUI' is technically called operating a
vehicle while intoxicated, or 'OVI.' This is an area of law all onto
itself. OVI is usually a first-degree misdemeanor, but repeat offenders
may be subject to felony indictments and the penalties that come with
an OVI conviction can be harsh. Possible penalties include jail or
prison, large fines, long license suspensions and other expensive, time
consuming sentences. Each OVI case is different and cannot be treated
in a cookie-cutter fashion. It is always advised to consult an
experienced attorney.
- Gahanna

- Jeffrey Adler: If
you are arrested for a crime, the judge will usually set what is called
"bail." Bail is sometimes set, per a schedule, immediately after you
are booked for a crime. For more serious crimes, bail may not be set
until your arraignment, which is the court date where the charges are
read against you and you enter your plea. Bail is the amount of money
you are required to pay in order to be able to leave jail during the
period between your arraignment and trial. In some cases the judge may
deny you any bail, meaning that you will have to stay in jail to await
your criminal trial. For example, individuals who commit particularly
reprehensible crimes or who are considered to be a high flight risk may
be denied bail. In most situations, you are not required to pay the
full bail amount, but are instead allowed to post a portion of it, as a
"bond." The bond is your promise that you will show up for all required
court appearances. There are many different ways in which bond can be
posted. The following is a primer on some of those ways.

OVI / DUI & Traffic Defense
The most common criminal or “quasi-criminal contacts that a person has with the court system arise out of automobile related offenses. Representation by a knowledgeable attorney can prevent jail time, hefty fines, civil liability (being sued), and drivers license suspensions. Sometimes even minor traffic offenses that appear to only carry the potential of fines and or “points” on a person’s drivers license can have other consequences that are avoidable such as license suspensions and increased insurance costs.
OVI, OMVI, DUI, DWI
While the name has changed over the years (starting with DWI, then DUI, then OMVI, and now OVI), an allegation of “drunk driving” is one of the most common offenses people encounter. Many people think that any attorney can handle this common offense but, in reality, it is a highly technical area of the law that is complicated by both the legislature’s constant tinkering through amendments (they have changed it 7 times in 6 years) and the ongoing changes in the case law (decisions of courts on unsettled nuances in ovi matters that then apply to future cases). When the various types of testing are introduced into the equation (Blood, Breath, and Urine) you have an area of law that demands the attorney keep up with the constant changes, be able to apply multiple areas of the law (traffic, constitutional, criminal, civil), and be able to apply the scientific principals, theory, and applicable testing standards behind the testing method utilized (if one was used) in the case.
Why Get a Lawyer for an OVI / DUI?
There are many opportunities and much potential for law enforcement to make mistakes or violate your rights.
The Stop
An OVI typically begins with a traffic stop. If the traffic stop is not valid then all the “evidence” collected by law enforcement after the stop can be suppressed so it cannot be used against you at trial.
Requesting Field Sobriety Tests Be Done
After a valid traffic stop, law enforcement must have a “reasonable articulable suspicion” to request that a person submit to field sobriety testing (more on “passing” those tests below). If law enforcement cannot meet this standard, the field sobriety tests cannot be used against you.
Conducting Field Sobriety Testing
Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) have very specific guidelines that Law Enforcement must substantially comply with for the tests to be admissible and for them to be used as probable cause for arrest. These standards range from the appropriate conditions for testing, what must be said, specific questions that must be asked, what effect specific medical conditions have on testing, and how long the tests must take to name a few. An attorney that knows the tests well, to the smallest details, can identify mistakes and irregularities that display to the court that the “substantial compliance” standard was not met. This is done through analysis of reports, video, and through cross examination of law enforcement at suppression hearings.
Breath Testing (“Blowing”)
Breath Testing is a heavily regulated area with a vast amount of standards to adhere to. Operators and Calibrators must be properly certified, the machines must be calibrated at minimum time intervals, calibration solutions must be stored in certain ways, tests mus be done within certain time constraints, a plethora of standards must be adhered to in taking individual tests (these machines are not the simple devices that are often seen in bars that give instant readings for a quarter), and even if all that is done correctly the machine must be monitored for scheduled maintenance and unscheduled repairs (sometimes very major repairs) that took place around the time of your test.
Medical Issues
Your specific medical circumstance and physical limitations can cause both field sobriety testing and brethalyzation to be wildly inaccurate. Essentially a person can appear to be impaired when they are not and certain conditions can cause false increases in the BAC readings the machine generates.
Other Issues
While these are some of the major areas to look at, they do not create anywhere near an exhaustive list. There is specialized case law and established procedures regarding the handling of blood and urine when those testing procedures are utilized. Chains of custody must be established and maintained. Typical constitutional protections like Mirandizing (reading of rights) must be done appropriatly or verbal statements can be excluded. Issues with video (typically dash cameras) have recently caused some changes in the case law regarding due process violations. The list goes on and on.
WITHOUT A COMPETENT OVI ATTORNEY, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF THESE REGULATIONS WERE FOLLOWED, IF YOUR TEST (IF TAKEN) WAS ACCURATE, OR IF YOUR RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED. THIS CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OVI, A REDUCTION, OR A DISMISSAL.
- Nyers, Athena:
When you are accused of a crime you need a skilled criminal defense attorney.
- Jerome Doute:
There's no such thing as a simple traffic ticket. A traffic offense can
ruin your life and result in a civil law suit where you can lose
everything you own or even go to jail for years. Every license
suspension and/or DWI arrest begins with a traffic stop for a simple
traffic offense such as a burned out tail light or failure to use a
turn signal while changing lanes.

- Kenneth Ortner: If you have been charged with driving while

- Loveland
- Arnold Law Office:
It is important that you speak with an attorney before accepting any
plea agreements. Police and prosecutors do not have your best interests
in mind.
Some issues connected with an OVI / DUI arrest that must be taken into consideration include:
* Driver's license suspension and resulting increases in insurance rates
* Possible sentences and penalties for a first offense OVI
* Increased penalties and consequences of multiple OVI/DUI charges
* Requesting special privileges, such as a restricted license or occupational driving privileges
* Increased alcohol treatment costs without the guidance of a skilled OVI / DUI lawyer
* Being issued specially colored/labeled license plates

- Desmond, Earl:
How bad is it?
Known by different acronyms such as OVI, DUI, OMVI and others, a drunk driving conviction carries serious and long-lasting consequences such as jail or prison time, a large fine, and suspension or revocation of a driver's license. A person facing a drunk driving charge should not hesitate to seek immediate legal advice from an experienced drunk driving defense attorney.

If you have been arrested for OVI, you need to know the consequences you are facing. This is true even for a first offense that does not involve an accident, other traffic violations or other special factors. Jail time is a possibility even under these circumstances.

- Manning & Manning:
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence or operating a vehicle while intoxicated, you want an aggressive and detail-oriented attorney to protect your interests. The penalties for drunk driving can be severe. You can lose your license, face substantial fines and even incarceration. A knowledgeable lawyer can help you understand all your options so you make informed decisions.
- North Royalton
- Jim Skelton:
The first move should be obvious... Stop, think, and call a good lawyer
as soon as possible.
When you are arrested...the State of Ohio is accusing you of committing
a crime...something which is punishable...something that might put your
liberty at stake and take you away from your family, friends and loved
ones.
Treat the matter seriously. This is not the time to joke around or play
know-it-all.
Now, generally, most law enforcement personnel are some of the nicest
people you might ever want to meet. However, one of the main functions
of their job is to elicit information from you. They may befriend you.
They may lie to you. They might trick you. They might even threaten
you.
What you need to know is that, generally, they are not eliciting this
information for your benefit. Law enforcement personnel work for the
State of Ohio and that officer is probably looking for information that
will help their case AGAINST you.

- Triscaro, Robert:
DUI / OVI
The ramifications of an Operating a Vehicle under the Influence (OVI) or driving under the influence (DUI) charge can be catastrophic. If this is not your first drunk driving arrest, the penalties can be especially harsh.
When you look at Ohio's OVI drunk driving laws, the criteria to declare someone guilty continue to decrease (it's .08 now and threatening to go lower) while the mandatory penalties continue to increase.
Nothing good happens after a DUI conviction. You could face mandatory jail time. Your license will automatically be suspended. There are substantial fines. If you are allowed to drive, you may have to demonstrate yellow “party” plates.
Buzzed driving is drunk driving. You have seen the signs. There is little or no tolerance in the courts for a DUI charge. Your best chance under these circumstances is to have a DUI defense lawyer who knows how to fight.

& Thomas: The crime of drunk driving is generally defined in two

a reasonable doubt that the person's blood alcohol content (BAC)

Being charged with drunk driving (OVI / DUI) is one of the most feared

driving will also result multiple additional charges, including moving

content) or driving under suspension. During this nightmare you need a
competent attorney to stand with you to protect your rights.

If you are convicted for D.U.I., the possible penalties include jail
time, a fine, a driver's license suspension,
seizure/immobilization/forfeiture of your vehicle and impoundment of
your plates, as well as six points on your driver's license. You will
also be required to pay a license reinstatement fee and maintain proof
of insurance with the Bureau Of Motor Vehicles, which will likely
result in obtaining high-risk insurance. The mandatory minimum
penalties and the severity of your sentence depend on how many
times you have been convicted of D.U.I. in the last six
years. The following table summarizes the possible
penalties for D.U.I, based on the number of convictions within six
years. Please note that, if the result of your breath or blood test is
over .17, or if the result of your urine test is over
.238, the minimum mandatory jail sentence is
doubled. Note also that there are variations to these
penalties, and the penalties are occasionally changed by the state
legislature.

If you face charges for an OVI (DUI) or traffic violations, the last thing you want to do is roll over and plead guilty. It is important to have an attorney you trust investigate the arrest and stop, so you can minimize the potential consequences.
The police can pull you over for any traffic violation or traffic code transgression, but if they determine you are intoxicated, you could be facing more serious drunk driving charges such as OVI, formerly known as DUI. In order to keep your license in Ohio, you must consent to a breath test. While there is no time to contact a lawyer when you have been pulled over, there is plenty you can do to challenge your OVI after your arrest.

"Operate" is a broader term than driving. It includes not only a person
being in control of a vehicle while it is in motion, but also a person,
whether conscious or unconscious, in the driver's location in the front
seat of a stationary vehicle so as to be capable of doing any act or
series of acts which could or contribute to the vehicle being put into
motion. It is not necessary to prove that the person in the driver's
location of a stationary vehicle ever had the vehicle in motion or
intended to put the vehicle in motion. "Operation" includes a person
who is in the driver's seat with the ignition key in the ignition
