- King, Adrian: Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated (OVI) Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence, Impaired, or Intoxicated (OMVI) Drunk Driving charges in Ohio are some of the most misunderstood and confusing criminal offences. It is also one that can cause major financial and psychological hardship. ÒDrunk drivingÓ, or ÒDUIÓ (driving under the influence), is enforced in every state, although laws are different depending on where you live. The law states that it is an offense for any person to operate a motor vehicle while having alcohol that impairs their physical or mental abilities. Whether its .08%, .10% or other amount of blood alcohol, this offense does not require proof of any specific amount of alcohol in your system; therefore, you donÕt have to take the blood, breath, or urine test to be convicted of this offense. Yes, it can be a scary experience. Yes, you may have been over the limit. But were your rights compromised? Were the proper procedures followed? The bottom line is we understand DUI defense and we look forward to fighting for your rights. You can win these types of cases.

A conviction can mean having your license suspended or revoked, or it could mean time spent in jail in addition to big fines. Any attorney can recommend a guilty plea.
- 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.
