Operating a Vehicle under the Influence of Alcohol and/or Drugs (OVI)
(Also referred to as (DUI) Driving Under the Influence or (DWI) Driving While Impaired)
An OVI charge is a serious matter that can have far reaching consequences to you and your family. The OVI laws in Ohio are complex and have been significantly revised in recent years. It’s crucial that you hire the right attorney to defend your OVI case.
An OVI conviction is to be avoided if at all possible. A conviction can lead to jail time, fines, court costs, lengthy probation, mandatory drug/alcohol treatment, suspension of your drivers license, increased insurance costs and loss of employment. An OVI conviction is an enhanceable offense; a past conviction can be used to elevate the penalties of a subsequent offense and can eventually lead to felony charges.
Get Experience on Your Side
For all of these reasons, you need an attorney if you are charged with OVI offense in Ohio, even if it is a first offense. Do not trust an inexperienced attorney to defend your OVI charge, trust Attorney Douglas Houston to use his knowledge of the complex OVI laws and his many years of experience fighting OVI cases to obtain the very best results possible in your individual case.
