What Happens When You’re Charged with OVI in Ohio?

After being arrested for an OVI, you will be taken to the police station for processing. You will be read your Miranda rights, your blood will be drawn, and your car will be towed. You will then be given paperwork that details your OVI charges, the penalties you face, and your rights. It is important that you know what these rights are and that you are able to exercise them. Our firm can help you understand the charges against you and the best ways to fight your OVI.

Potential Penalties for an OVI Conviction

The penalties for an OVI in Ohio depend on a number of different factors, including (but not limited to) the:

Type of OVI (first, second, third, aggravated)
Type of chemical test that was used to determine your BAC (preliminary breath test, blood test)
BAC level at the time of the test
Whether there was an accident involved
Whether there was a minor in the car
Whether the intoxicated driver was underage

The penalties for an OVI in Ohio can include:

Fines
Jail time
License suspension
Community service

An OVI conviction on your record
