Ohio Drunk Driving Attorney

DUI, Hit and Run, Traffic Violations

Many people charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) in Ohio have a particularly difficult time dealing with their criminal charge, often because it is the first crime with which they have ever been charged. DUI or DWI charges are made against approximately 1.5 million drivers every year. These arrests can result in serious consequences. A person who is convicted of a DUI or DWI can face heavy fees and penalties, a loss of driving privileges, and may be sentenced to serve jail time.

After the DMV hearing, the accused person must face the criminal proceeding. The Drunk Driving penalties in the state of Ohio are set forth by statute and can be very complicated. The basic statute allows for a range of possible DUI sentences, but there may be modifications to the sentence based on the following factors:

  • Having a prior conviction within the last seven (7) years
  • Speeding 20 mph (or more) over the speed limit at the time of the DUI
  • Having a child under the age of 14 in the car at the time of the DUI
  • Having a blood-alcohol reading of over .20%
  • Refusing to submit yourself to chemical testing

Given that so much is at stake in a DUI or DWI case, it is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who has handled many DUI and DWI cases in Ohio, and who will guide you through the legal maze of the Ohio criminal justice system and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
