3. Reminger Company: Just because you "failed" a breath test does not make you guilty of drunk driving. There are many ways a skilled criminal defense lawyer can help you. * Did the police followed proper procedures during your arrest and booking? * Was the breath testing device in proper working order? * Was the officer properly trained in the administration of the test? * Did the officer have a legal basis to make the stop? * Did he or she rely on the results of questionable field sobriety tests? A drunk driving arrest can leave you ashamed, afraid and intimidated. Don't let these feelings prevent you from taking positive action to protect yourself. Don't delay. There are important deadlines to meet. For example, you only have five days to request an administrative hearing to contest the automatic suspension of your driver's license.
4. Perry, Edward: In the State of Ohio, as is the case throughout the nation, a conviction for a DUI or OVI can lead to serious, long-term consequences. Not only are you facing a lengthy suspension of your driver's license, but, depending on your case, you may be subject to mandatory jail time and substantial fines. A lot of people describe DUI cases as if they were all the same, but like any area of the law, the best results come from a more sophisticated approach that recognizes the unique circumstances of each case.
5. Faller, Raymond: Some people think that there is little or no defense to a charge of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. They are wrong. If you have been charged with such an offense, we will examine whether the police had probable cause to stop your car, whether field sobriety tests were administered correctly, and the accuracy and condition of any machine or instrument used to administer a breath, blood or urine test. The penalties for DWI / DUI/ OVI and refusing a breath test in Ohio are substantial. They include mandatory jail time, fines and loss of driving privileges. If you decide not to consult an attorney and plead guilty to a DWI / DUI/ OVI charge, you might not realize the full impact that decision will have on you until it is too late. In addition to jail, fines and suspension a DWI / DUI/ OVI conviction may lead to: * Having to disclose a DWI / DUI/ OVI conviction on job, housing, and financial applications * Higher insurance premiums * Impact on your Ohio CDL license or your driver's license Ð revocation and suspension are the most common * An inability to expunge the conviction from your criminal record * Forfeiture of your vehicle * Having to drive with embarrassing yellow license plates that indicate that you have had a prior conviction * More serious consequences if you have a subsequent DUI Do it right the first time.

7. Haas, Herbert: If you are facing criminal charges in a State or Federal Court, you need a criminal defense lawyer who will carefully investigate and evaluate your situation. General information for drivers in Ohio being investigated for suspected impaired driving charges (by alcohol or drugs) * Never answer ANY questions about consuming alcohol and drugs. Remain silent and immediately request an attorney's advice. If arrested, do not resist the officer and answer NO questions concerning if, when, or where you may have been or what you drank. Do NOT consent to a search of your vehicle. * Do NOT submit to ANY roadside sobriety or agility tests, eye tests, and especially a hand-held breath device without speaking to a lawyer. All field tests are voluntary, HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE, and are designed to incriminate you. Tell the police officer "I want to talk to a lawyer before I say or do anything." * Politely ask to leave the scene, by cab or on foot, without your keys (even if your car is towed away), if arrest can be avoided by doing so. Never run from or try to elude police officers. Ask for permission to call a cab or friend to come to get you to avoid arrest. * If you have never been convicted of DUI / DWI charge, politely decline any police test(s) of your blood, breath or urine until and unless you first consult with a lawyer. * If you have never been convicted of a DUI / DWI charge, a refusal will trigger a one-year minimum license suspension by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, for an Ohio-licensed driver and may affect a non-resident's driving priveleges in his or her own state. The judge can give you limited driving priveleges at this time. Please note, a refusal to take a breath test if you have never been convicted, will trigger a one year license suspension.

    DUI MYTHS

    Myth 1 -You must be drunk to be guilty of DUI. Under one Ohio law, no scientific tests are necessary. This violation is based upon a police officer's observations of your driving, physical appearance, and responses to what are called "field sobriety tests." A second law for which you can be charged is the so-called "per se" violation. In effect this law states, you are not permitted to drive with a prescribed level of alcohol of .08 or more of alcohol in your breath. Blood and urine have different mandated levels. In most instances a "breathalyzer" is used. The government need not introduce any other evidence.

    Myth 2 - You can make it harder to prove you're DUI by refusing to take the breathalyzer. Implied in your right to drive in Ohio is the "implied consent law." This law states every person given the right to drive in Ohio agrees to take a breathalyzer when asked. There are severe penalties for refusing to take the test. But, there may be legitimate reasons for not taking the test. When in doubt consult an attorney.

    Myth 3 - The police can demand I take field sobriety tests and the breathalyzer without consulting an attorney. This is absolutely untrue. You have a right to counsel once you are placed under arrest. You must specifically state you will not take any further tests or answer any questions without consulting an attorney. At that point, the police must stop all questioning or any testing, giving you reasonable time to contact an attorney. But, the police have the right to go forward with a breathalyzer test after giving you reasonable time to contact and consult with counsel. Your refusal to take a test after being given a reasonable amount of time to call an attorney may be considered a refusal to take the test.

    Myth 4 - DUI is merely a traffic violation. I don't need an attorney. A conviction for DUI can be devastating. Beside a fine and jail sentence, a conviction can impact your insurance, employment, and credit. Under the new law, it can cause your vehicle to be confiscated and sold by the state and give you a felony record! Obviously, DUI is NOT a simple traffic offense. Advice of counsel should always be sought.
