DUI & OVI: An Overview
You just left that party, and you didn’t think you were too drunk to drive. But then you see those blue and red lights in the rear-view mirror, and you know that you’re in trouble. Lots of questions swirl in your mind: Is it legal to say no to field sobriety tests? What are my rights? How will potentially having a DUI affect my life?

Understanding DWI And OVI Charges
The terms driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI) and operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI) refer to instances in which a person under the influence of a controlled substance drives a car. In Ohio, a person is considered legally intoxicated/impaired if his or her blood alcohol level is .08% or above, or if any amount of a controlled substance such as marijuana or heroin can be detected. Being charged with DUI/OVI can result in fines, a suspension of your operator’s license and/or jail time. To help you avoid or reduce these penalties, the experienced criminal defense lawyers at Dungan & LeFevre can analyze your case to determine the best possible outcome as well as take the necessary steps to secure occupational driving privileges.
