Charles is a frequent speaker and a prolific writer on all matters related to OVI / DUI defense.

My practice is proud to serve the military community in and around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  One of the recurring questions we get from military personnel is whether or not a federal or out-of-state DUI can be used to enhance a DUI they get here in Ohio.  At one time they did not.  Now, however, the offenses received in another state or on federal property do count. See Ohio Revised Code 4511.181(A).  DUI defense attorneys challenged the ex post facto application of R.C. 4511.181(A) but the courts have held that since it serves only as an enhancement it meets constitutional standards. State v. Morrison, 2003-Ohio-3244 (Ohio Ct. App. 8th Dist. Cuyahoga County 2003).
