DUI/OVI Defense Lawyer in Cleveland
Experienced Cleveland DUI/OVI Attorney
If you have been charged with OVI, or operating a vehicle under the influence (commonly referred to as DUI), you probably have a lot of questions. How much will this cost? How much jail time will I serve? Will my license be suspended? In Ohio there are three main types of DUI:
- Low tier, which consists of a .08 to .17 BAC
- High tier, consisting of a BAC of .17 or above, and
- Refusal to take the breathalyzer
Regardless of the type of DUI you have been charged with, you are facing mandatory jail time, fines up to $2700, interlock installation, and license suspension. These possibilities may seem daunting, but now’s not the time to stick your head in the sand.
An administrative license suspension has to be appealed within ten days.
