Charged with a DUI in Ohio? Get Help Immediately
Most people charged with a DUI offense usually have no real understanding of Ohio DUI law, the justice system, and DUI penalties. Often they feel hopeless and just want to “get it over with.” Consequently, they don’t consult with a DUI lawyer to evaluate their options.
In reality, very few DUI cases are open-and-shut. Our savvy DUI lawyers are alert to the many options available to help you avoid the harsh consequences of a DUI conviction.
Keep in mind that a DUI conviction in Ohio cannot be expunged and remains on your record for fifty years.
The first court appearance (Arraignment) takes place before you know it, leaving little time for obtaining legal advice and representation from a qualified DUI Lawyer.
Acting fast is crucial. You need to take action now and get a DUI lawyer as soon as possible.
