Drunk Driving Defense in Ohio: OVIs and Their Consequences

In Ohio, DUIs are often referred to as OVIs (operating a vehicle under the influence). The terms may vary regarding the charges, but the penalties for the traffic infraction are similar. Your first and second offenses bring the possibility of jail time, serious financial penalties and the chance of a suspended license. Third and fourth offenses within a six-year period also add the possibility of a required interlock ignition device. Work with an attorney to improve your chances of receiving sentencing that is easier to bear.
