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
Contact our Chardon law office promptly to speak with a skilled DUI/OVI defense lawyer about defending your rights and working to preserve your license.
