Brunswick DUI Attorney

What is a Brunswick DUI attorney?  A DUI, officially known as an OVI, is defined in Ohio Revised Code 4511.19, bearing the title “operating vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”  OVI cases are made up of two separate charges: (1) the OVI charge, which alleges that the person operated a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of them; and (2) the BAC charge, which usually alleges that the person operated a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more, which is determined by a breath sample, or an equivalent amount by blood serum or plasma or urine, as well as levels of various drugs.

When one is in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with possession of the keys, and the person is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or a combination of them, or has a BAC, one may be charged with physical control of a motor vehicle under Ohio Revised Code 4511.194.

Finally, a Brunswick DUI lawyer will be prepared to handle operating a vehicle after underage consumption (OVUAC), as defined by Ohio Revised Code 4511.19.  This law makes it illegal for persons under 21 years of age to drive a vehicle with a concentration of .02 percent, but less than .08 percent by weight of alcohol by whole blood or breath, or with an equivalent amount by blood serum or plasma or urine.   A conviction for this offense carries a minimum license suspension of 90 days (a class 6 suspension) for a first offense, but no minimum period of incarceration.  Some like to refer to this offense as a “baby DUI.”
