Barberton DUI Attorney
What is a Barberton DUI attorney? While some may also commonly refer to such an attorney as a Barberton driving under the influence attorney, the better term is a Barberton OVI attorney, or Barberton operating a vehicle under the influence attorney. OVI is defined in Ohio Revised Code 4511.19 (R.C. 4511.19), bearing the title “operating vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.” OVI cases typically consists 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. The statute provides for a minimum license suspension of 180 days and a minimum period of incarceration of 72 hours upon a conviction for an OVI or BAC charge. Such minimum penalties increase with a BAC of .17 or more, and prior convictions for OVI or BAC.
Barberton Physical Control Of A Vehicle While Under The Influence
A Barberton DUI lawyer will also handle “physical control” cases. Having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence is defined in Ohio Revised Code 4511.194 (R.C. 4511.194). Simply stated, physical control of a motor vehicle occurs when one is in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with possession of the keys, and the person is under the influence or drugs, alcohol or a combination of them, or has a BAC as defined in the OVI statute (R.C. 4511.19). There are essentially no minimum penalties for this offense, but the court must impose a class 7 suspension, which must consist of some time.
Barberton Operating A Vehicle After Underage Consumption
Finally, a Barberton DUI attorney will be prepared to handle operating a vehicle after underage consumption (OVUAC), as defined by Ohio Revised Code 4511.19 (R.C. 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.”
