OMVI, OVI, and DUI are all terms encompassing driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicating substances charge. In today's society, this allegation is becoming more and more debilitating, especially in Ohio. In fact, the Ohio legislature amended Title 45 three times in 2004 to account for the public's demand for harsher penalties. As a result, it is extremely important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to understand the nature of the charges and the possible outcomes for resolution of an OMVI/OVI/DUI case.
Counsel should be well-versed in the changes in the legislation, the proper administration of field sobriety testing, submission and handling of any breath, blood, or urine test, possible motor vehicle insurance issues, and the potential outcomes any case of this caliber may produce, both in state court and with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Counsel must also be skilled at interfacing with local court personnel, law enforcement officials, and prosecuting attorneys. Additionally, counsel must have experience in all pre-trial motions, discovery, and numerous trial needs as case progresses through each stage of the process.
