  • Paul Gambrel: 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.

  • Spitler, Huffman & Newlove: 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.

  • Seth Arkow: If I am stopped for a DUI, what if any test should I take? » Field Performance Tests There are a number of field performance tests that various police agencies administer. These include, among others: horizontal gaze; walking a straight line and turning; one leg raise, alphabet; etc. The police are looking for evidence to use against you. The Police have made observations about your condition by your driving, your breath, your eyes, the smell of alcohol and other observations they make. The field tests support their conclusion. You do not have to take these tests. There is no consequence for your failure to do so, other than you may be considered uncooperative and arrested. You have the option of telling the officer you would like to do the tests, but your attorney advised you not to. Or, tell the officer you want to contact your attorney before performing any tests. You must realize that, depending on the amount you have had to drink or based on the amount of medication or drugs in your system,  likelihood of your passing these tests are slim. Remember, you are likely nervous, tired and possibly under the influence. You have not done these tests before and are being judged by someone who has done and observed these over a thousand times. You are not likely satisfying the officer’s requirements. » Breath, blood, or urine tests There may be times where you will have no choice as to whether or not to submit to these tests. If you are unconscious, if you are transported for medical treatment, if the police obtain a search warrant and if you refuse to cooperate, depending on the jurisdiction you are in, you could be facing a felony. However, if you have the option to take or not take the test, there are a number of factors to consider. First of all, always try to reach your attorney for advice. Make sure your attorney is familiar with these laws and the consequences to you for failure to take the test. Yes, you may lose your right to drive for a refusal, but often you can receive occupational privileges after a short suspension. If you are unable to reach your attorney, you need to consider how much you had to drink before taking or not taking the test. If you believe you will be over the legal limit, likely you should not take the test. In Ohio, if you reach a certain limit, the penalties are enhanced, for example mandatory 6 days in jail versus 3 days in jail. You need to consider all of these factors before taking the test. If your test result is above the legal limit, it is likely the attorney’s options are limited. Unless the police did not follow the procedures properly, the test results will come in against you in court. That may be all that is needed to convict you of driving under the influence.
  • Elizabeth Burick: A charge of drunk driving, or DUI, is one of the most serious traffic violations, and a DUI conviction can result in large fines, lengthy probation, revocation of your driver's license, court-ordered alcohol treatment, and even jail time. In addition to your criminal DUI case, you will have a civil case which determines if your driver's license will revoked or cancelled, and for how long.

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.

  • 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.

  • Smith, Stephen: DUI IN OHIO What is DUI? DUI is shorthand for Driving Under the Influence. A person is guilty of DUI if he or she drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and is under the influence of alcoholic beverages or any chemical or controlled substance to the extent that his or her mental faculties are impaired or when his or her blood alcohol level (BAC) is above the legal limit for the state. Is there anyway to avoid a DUI? It sounds simple, but don’t drink and drive. Take a taxi, designate a driver, walk, call a friend, but no matter what, do not drink and drive. Can I still be in trouble for driving, even if my BAC is below the legal limit? Yes. It is also unlawful to drive with your normal faculties impaired. Normal faculties are those faculties of a person, such as the ability to walk, talk, judge distances, drive an automobile, make judgments, act in emergencies, etc. Does the car have to be moving for me to be guilty of DUI? No. You can be arrested for DUI by driving while over the legal BAC in your state or while impaired. But, you need not actually operate the car in order to be arrested. You can still be found guilty if you had the capability and power to dominate, direct, or regulate the vehicle, regardless of whether you were exercising that capability or power at the time of the arrest. In other words, simply sitting behind the wheel with the keys in the ignition can lead to your arrest for DUI by being in actual physical control of the car. Do I have to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test? No. However, refusing such tests is generally not a good idea. The laws of most states permit the motor vehicle department to suspend your privilege to drive. In addition, your refusal to submit to a test upon the request of a law enforcement officer is admissible in any criminal proceeding against you as evidence of you consciousness of guilt. By accepting the privilege extended by the laws of most states to drive, the courts have determined that you have given your consent to submit to an approved chemical or physical test of your breath for the purposes of determining your BAC, and to a urine test for the purposes of detecting the presence of drugs. Therefore, when you sign your name on your license, you are saying that if stopped for a possible DUI, you will accept to take the test. Can I fight my DUI arrest? Yes. You may request a review of the driver’s license suspension by the department of motor vehicles within a specified number of days following your arrest. At a formal review, the hearing officer is authorized to administer oaths, examine witnesses and take testimony. If you request an informal review hearing, it shall consist solely of an examination by the department of the written materials submitted by the arresting officer, as well as anything you wish to submit. You generally cannot attend an informal hearing. If I am arrested for a DUI, will I lose my license? Yes, the law enforcement officer will seize your license if you are arrested for DUI with an unlawful BAC or after you refused to submit to a chemical or physical test. Your license will be seized, and the officer will issue you a traffic ticket, which acts as both a temporary driver’s license and as your notice of suspension. How long will I lose my license? This will vary from state to state. However, if you have refused to submit to a chemical or physical test, your license will likely be suspended for a period of one year for a first refusal, or for eighteen months if you have previously refused to submit to such a test. If you have an unlawful BAC, your driving privilege will likely be suspended for six months for a first offense, and one year for a second offense. What else will happen to me? Once again, this varies from state to state. But more than likely, you will be given a jail term. Most states require a mandatory one-night stay on the first offense. In addition, most second offenses within five years, results in a mandatory 30 day jail term and a third offense usually results in a sentence of no less than ninety days. Furthermore, your insurance company may discontinue its coverage or at the very least, assign you to a high-risk category, resulting in a substantial increase in your premiums.

It is essential that you choose an attorney to represent you, who has experience with DUI/DWI law in your particular state.

Be curious, ask lots of questions, and make an informed decision. Challenging drunk driving charges is never easy, but an experienced attorney will recognize and address the weaknesses in the case against you.

  • Robert E. Calesaric: If you have been arrested and ticketed for Operating a Vehicle under the Influence (OVI), sometimes referred to as OMVI, DUI, or DWI, your driving rights are in jeopardy. It is important to understand how seriously these charges threaten your ability to keep your drivers license. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to help you navigate through this tricky legal minefield. However, remember that many people fail a breath or blood tests and they are not eventually convicted. A drunk driving charge is both urgent and complicated. It is vital that you get an experienced DUI attorney involved as soon as possible. You must request a license hearing within 30 days of the arraignment, and it is best if you contact an attorney before your arraignment. Because OVI or DUI cases can be so complicated, it is important to find a criminal defense lawyer who has practiced in the area enough to understand all of the legal technicalities.

  • James Pearl: What is driving "under the influence" or "over the legal limit"?
    
    In Ohio, alcohol related offenses include BOTH:
    (1) driving driving under the influence of alcohol or a drug of abuse
    (often referred to as "OVI"); and
    (2) driving over the legal limit (often referred to as "BAC").
    
    One can be convicted of being "under the influence" if a jury
    determines that:
    "the defendant consumed some alcohol or drug of abuse, whether mild
    or potent, in such a quantity, whether small or great, that it adversely
    affected and appreciably impaired the defendant's actions, reactions, or
    mental processes under the circumstances then existing and deprived
    him of that clearness of intellect and control of himself which he would
    otherwise have possessed."
    
    
    This is generally the instruction given to juries when they deliberate in
    a DUI/DWI trial.
    
    In Ohio, even if you are not "under the influence," you may still be
    guilty of a alcohol related crime if you are "over the legal limit."
    Driving over the legal limit is not the same as driving under the
    influence" (although the two may certainly occur at the same time). As
    you are probably aware, a person can be over the legal limit without
    that level of alcohol impairing the person's ability to drive (or do other
    things) appropriately. Conversely, a person can be under the legal limit
    and still have that level of alcohol to impair that person's ability to
    drive (or do other things). In Ohio, the legal limit for persons 21 and
    over is any of the following:
    
    .08% (by weight) for blood, or
    over .08 of 1 gram (by weight) per 200 liters of for breath, or
    .14 of a gram (by weight) per 100 milliliters of urine.
    For persons under 21 it is even less (e.g. .02% (by weight) for blood.)
    It is possible to be charged with both being under the influence and
    driving over the legal limit, and it is possible to be convicted of both.
    However, if one is convicted of both (for the same incident), then he
    can only be sentenced for one. Most times a person is arrested for a
    DWI offense, they are charged with both. This way the police and the
    prosecution have two shots at a conviction.
• 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.

  • Terrance Rudes: Faced with a DUI, especially a first offense, it would be natural to ask "Do I need to hire an attorney?". Technically, the answer is no. There is no requirement in Minnesota that a person charged with DUI be represented by an attorney. There are, however, many reasons why it is usually best to be represented by an experienced DUI defense attorney. Often a person charged with DUI feels guilty. He knows he was drinking and driving, and may even feel it would be somehow inappropriate to "fight it". He might assume that the officer was experienced and followed correct procedures, and that the state has an "open-and-shut case against him. Even so, it is still in that person's best interests to have good legal representation.

  • Dan Weisenberger: Ohio's DUI Laws Ohio's DUI law is extremely complex. Many people, including attorneys who dabble in DUI law only occasionally, do not have a clear understanding of how it works. Definitions Ohio DUI laws prohibit any person from operating a vehicle within Ohio if they are either under the influence or above the prohibited limits. Let's have a look at the definitions, since they are the key to understanding the DUI law. * "Operate" means to cause or have caused movement of a vehicle on any public or private property used by the public for purposes of vehicular travel or parking. * "Vehicle" means any device used for transport, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, lawn mowers, etc. It does not include motorized wheelchairs or electric personal assistive mobility devices. * Ohio's DUI law applies anywhere "within this state", not just on the roads. When a person is accused of violating Ohio's DUI law, they are typically charged with two violations. * First, they are charged with being "under the influence". This particular charge requires the prosecution to prove that the driver's ability to operate the vehicle was impaired, to a noticeable degree, by alcohol and/or drugs. "Drugs" includes prescription medication as well as illegal substances. * Second, if the person took a breath, blood or urine test and the test results indicated a prohibited level (of either alcohol or drugs) then the person is typically charged with another DUI violation: Operating with a prohibited level of alcohol and/or drugs. The prosecution can attempt to prove both "under the influence" and "prohibited level", but the person can only be sentenced on one. In cases where the alcohol level exceeds .17 or where the driver refuses the test, the penalties are dramatically increased. In cases where the driver refuses the test, the police sometimes file an additional charge of DUI Refusal. Typically the prosecutor has to prove the "under the influence" charge as part of the DUI Refusal charge. When a person refuses to take the test in a DUI case, it makes it far more difficult for the prosecutor to prove the case, especially if the driver was pulled over for a purely technical infraction (like No License Plate Light). On the other hand, a refusal increases the potential penalties if the person is convicted, and causes some judges to be more reluctant to grant limited privileges, etc. Probable Cause An officer has to have a valid reason to stop or detain a person. This simply means that the officer has to have a reasonable basis or justification to believe that the person is breaking a law. Violation of any law will suffice (such as failure to signal a turn). Without a valid reason, the whole case may be thrown out. Additionally, the officer must have a "reasonable suspicion" that the driver is under the influence in order to arrest for a DUI. Normally the officer uses his observations to meet this requirement. Additionally, most officers will conduct a series of field sobriety tests to help them make this determination. Field Sobriety Tests The three standard tests now in use are the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test (HGN), the Walk & Turn test and the One-Leg Stand test. The officer must substantially comply with a set of instructions when administering these tests. Some departments also have portable breath testing devices that can be used at the scene. The results of the portable tests are not admissible in evidence to prove the DUI charge, but are simply meant to assist the officer. There is no penalty for refusing the field sobriety tests or the portable breath test, although most officers will not be happy. Who gets to choose the test? Ohio law allows the officer to choose the type of test required. Most officers choose a breath test unless drugs are suspected. There are many detailed requirements concerning the use of tests in evidence, including proof that the test was taken within 3 hours of the time of the operation of the vehicle (2 hours if you hold a CDL) Videos The most important piece of evidence in your case is usually the video recorded from the cruiser dash- camera. Many departments have dash-mounted video cameras in their cruisers, which are automatically activated when the overhead lights are turned on. However, the officer can manually turn the camera (and the sound) off and on, using a device on his belt. The camera is usually located just to the right of the rear-view mirror in a small 3-inch box. It can be manually aimed in all directions to record whatever the officer chooses. The audio track of these dash cams also picks up sound from the officer's lapel microphone as well as a microphone in the roof of the cruiser interior.

  • Kirby & Thomas: The crime of drunk driving is generally defined in two ways: (1) having a blood alcohol content above the limit set by law, or (2) driving under the influence of alcohol. To find a person guilty under the first definition, a jury (or judge) must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the person's blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeded a certain amount.

Don't by into it, NOT GUILTY means "State, prove that I am guilty" and no more.

    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.

  • Kevin Ondrey: , If you are questioned, stopped, cited, or arrested by the police, it is very important that you seek legal advice from a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible! Ideally, you should seek legal advice before you are even questioned. It makes a criminal defense attorneys job much easier when they can assist in pre arrest strategies. You may refuse to answer any questions and contact a criminal defense attorney if the answer would tend to incriminate you. If you try to cooperate by answering questions without a criminal defense attorney's advice, you may create difficulties for your criminal defense attorney in defending you later. Generally, if you seek legal advice early in the process, it will aid your criminal defense attorney in your defense.

  • Lyons & Lyons: "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 whether or not the engine of the vehicle is running. Ohio Jury Instruction 545.25, 2 & State v.

  • Charles Rowland: When an individual is taken to the police station he or she will be asked to submit to a blood, breath or urine test. The suspect does not have the right to pick which test he or she will comply with. By far the most common method for testing is the breath test. Law enforcement prefer this test because it is convenient and immediate results are obtained. Competent trial counsel will be familiar with how the breath test is conducted by the officers in the jurisdiction and have a familiarity with the devise used to conduct the testing. The Department of Health is responsible for devising the testing method for the admissibility of blood breath and urine tests. These rules are found in the Ohio Administrative Code at OAC Chapter 3701-53. Experienced counsel will also be familiar with the rules as set forth in the OAC.
