Cincinnati and Fairfield, Ohio, DUI/OVI Defense Attorney
A Criminal Defense Law Firm With Offices in Fairfield, Anderson, Kenwood and Mason
If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) or operating a vehicle while impaired (OVI), we want to help you. The legal consequences for a conviction of drunk driving in Ohio can be severe.
For a first offense, penalties include a mandatory three-day jail sentence, a mandatory six-month license suspension and up to $1,000 in fines. A second offense increases penalties to 10-day mandatory jail stay, a one-year license suspension and a mandatory $1,000 fine. A third offense is even worse - 30 days mandatory minimum jail sentence, a three-year license suspension and a fine of up to $2750. Employment consequences can also result from a criminal record, which can be devastating in today's challenging economy.
At the Cincinnati-area law firm of Gary A. Billig, Attorney at Law, founding lawyer Gary Billig has handled hundreds of DUI/OVI criminal defense cases and can provide effective and aggressive DUI/OVI defense legal help.
Have you been pulled over for DUI/OVI or driving with a suspended or revoked license? Contact Gary A. Billig, Attorney at Law, at 513-858-2400.
We can question the reasonableness of police officers' actions on constitutional grounds, including probable cause issues and the reasonableness of administering field tests and blood alcohol tests. We can also work to prevent your license suspension, fight to have your to-work or full driving privileges reinstated.
Drunk driving is a legal and political "hot button" issue, and police work hard to gather convincing evidence against the accused. Additionally, the SB-17 statute allows for mandatory blood, breath and urine tests. Before you decide to cut costs and handle your DUI/OVI defense on your own, contact us for a no-charge initial discussion of your legal options and how we may be able to help you reduce or eliminate your charges and keep your record clean.
