Sharon Center DUI Attorney

A Sharon Center DUI attorney represents individuals charged with OVI and other traffic offenses in Sharon Center.  OVI is the acronym for “operating vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” and such cases typically consist of two potential offenses: (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.  Depending on the number of prior offenses, there are minimum periods of suspension and incarceration set forth under Ohio law.

Sharon Center DUI Attorney Handles More Than Standard OVI Cases 

 

A Sharon Center DUI lawyer will also handle “physical control” cases.  This offense is committed 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 as defined under Ohio law.  There are essentially no minimum penalties for this offense, but the court must impose some license suspension, even if it is only for a day.

Have you ever heard of a baby DUI?  This Sharon Center DUI lawyer is prepared to defend individuals charged with this offense, otherwise known as operating a vehicle after underage consumption (OVUAC).  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 for a first offense, but no minimum period of incarceration.
