Operating a Vehcile Impaired (OVI)
Operating a vehicle impaired in Ohio means driving, or being in actual physical control of a vehicle, while also being impaired. While OVI with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level of .08 or higher after drinking alcohol, taking controlled substances, or using other chemical substances constitutes OVI per se, much less is needed for you to be arrested and convicted. Often, a police offering seeing bloodshot eyes or smelling the odor of alcohol is enough. OVIs can damage one’s reputation with the community and also lead to issues with employment.
More importantly, OVI can result in mandatory jail time, counseling, probation (community control), heavy fines, restitution for damage, license suspensions and community service. Multiple OVIs, especially in a ten year period, can lead to much more severe penalties through what can be viewed as a “stacking” effect. OVIs are complex with a lot at stake for any client. They present complex issues of evidence and procedure as well Constitutional rights. With so much complexity and so much at risk for a client, an attorney is critical to navigating the procedural minefield of OVI cases.
