  • Repeat DUI offenses: Repeat offenders face harsh penalties in addition to a criminal record and jail time. In Ohio, individuals with even a first offense can be forced to use a distinguishing yellow license plate. A fourth DUI charge will be an automatic felony in certain circumstances. We can provide the aggressive defense you need to minimize charges and pursue sentencing alternatives.
  • Drunk-driving accidents: A drunk-driving accident, even one with no injuries, is an aggravating condition that may increase your fines and sentencing. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney who can protect your rights and prepare an aggressive, strategic defense.
  • Manslaughter/vehicular Homicide: A fatality resulting from a drunk-driving accident is a tragedy. For the driver, the weight of guilt and potential consequences can be overwhelming. We will protect your rights, provide you with sound advice, and aggressively defend your case. We will confront the charges and seek to avoid or minimize the penalties associated with any conviction.
  • CDL license holders and DUI: Truck drivers and other commercial drivers face a mandatory one-year CDL disqualification on a first offense. Any second offense carries a lifetime disqualification. Our firm protects the rights of CDL holders in criminal court and administrative hearings. We will aggressively defend you as you attempt to keep your job and minimize the consequences of a DUI.
