Reviewed & Experienced DUI Attorney

Defense of an Ohio DUI or alcohol-related charge can be challenging. The main witnesses against you are the police. There is scientific evidence from the breath test, blood test or urine test that is presented against you.  Ohio has set strict limits on the ways the chemical tests can be attacked.  Your attorney will need to be familiar with the defenses and be skilled enough to present those to a judge or jury.  Often, a video tape of the arrest will be bolstered by the police officer’s testimony.  Your performance on the standardized field sobriety tests may be damaging to your case. The potential for devastating consequences also exists in all DUI cases: loss of freedom, loss of license, loss of job, and the lasting stigma of a criminal conviction. Your best chance at winning your case is to hire an attorney with the experience and skill necessary to win.

I focus my practice exclusively on defending those accused of misdemeanor and felony OVI offenses.  I have obtained certification on the BAC DataMaster, the Intoxilyzer 8000 breath test machines and I have been certified in forensic sobriety assessmet and drug recognition protocol.  Do you want training? I have received the same training in the administration of standardized field sobriety tests as law enforcement officers and I have lectured on these topics, teaching the same skills to other attorneys. I also volunteer my time to the Greene County Police Academy, twice a year conducting a DUI mock trial for training purposes. I also participate in leading national groups who are at the cutting edge of DUI defense. These groups include the National College for DUI Defense, The DUI Defense Lawyers Association, The American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, the Ohio State Bar Foundation, the American Bar Foundation and various Bar Associations. I have been designated a Super Lawyer for DUI defense. I have been nationally recognized for my work and I have received a perfect 10/10 from AVVO since 2006. I have the experience and skills necessary to win your case.

Here are some of the testimonials I have received.

The outcome I needed!

• I recommend Charles Rowland
• Reduced to reckless operation after positive breath test
• Saved me hundreds, if not thousands in court fees
• He knows what he’s doing

Mr. Rowland and his knowledgeable, prepared team got the job done. He was able to get my OVI charge reduced to a reckless operation after a positive breath test. This not only keeps an OVI off my record, but saved me hundreds If not thousands of dollars in fees, court costs, license reinstatement charges, etc. It is apparent through my work with him that he knows what he is doing when it comes to helping clients face these charges, and that it is critical to have someone with his knowledge and relationships working on your behalf. He comes with my highest recommendation.

Yay!

• I recommend Charles Rowland
• Professional and Honest
• No points or DUI are going on my record
• It probably saved my job

Would definitely recommend Mr.Rowland. He’s awesome, professional, and honest. My DUI was amended to a physical control, no points or DUI are going to be on my record, saving my position at work, and thousands of dollars in insurance premiums. I witnessed Mr. Rowland having a good working relationship with the ppl, staff, other attorneys, probation dept. at the court where my hearing was held, so I can only assume he does at other courts too.
A lil bit pricy..but it’s not horrible, and totally worth it. I wish I could’ve had somebody like him for my divorce!!!

Helped my son

• I recommend Charles Rowland
• I “liked” his Facebook page because of the interesting and informative content
• He was the first attorney to come to mind when my son got a DUI
• Without his personal representation things would not have worked out as well as they did
• Do yourself a favor and add him to your contacts

I first learned of Mr. Rowland and his practice through his DaytonDUI FaceBook site and decided to “Like” it because of the interesting and informative content… I am very grateful for my decision because when my son had an uncharacteristic lapse of judgment and got into trouble Mr. Rowland was the first attorney that came to mind. I can say a lot about how considerate, knowledgeable, and professional Mr. Rowland was while representing my son, but I will just say that I believe that without his personal representation things would not have worked out as well as they did. Everyone makes mistakes, know your rights and know who to call if you or a loved one finds themselves in need of a great attorney. I will always confidently refer the services of Mr. Rowland for anyone who needs help and I will always be grateful to him for helping and guiding my family through a very tough ordeal. Do yourself a favor and add him to your contacts…

Best DUI attorney around

• I recommend Charles Rowland
• My friend recommended him to me who had used his services
• He said he would take care of it…and he did!
• His secretary is super helpful and knowledgeable

Mr. Rowland was recommended to me by a friend who had used his services. I was so worried about the trouble I was in, but Mr. Rowland assured me that he would take care of it… and he did! Even gave me his after-hours number, if I needed it. He made me feel like a real person rather than “just a client”. His secretary is super helpful and knowledgeable – which is great when Mr. Rowland isn’t available to answer my questions. I am SO happy I hired Mr. Rowland!

Mr. Rowland is an AMAZING lawyer and GREAT at what he does!

• I recommend Charles Rowland
• He told me he worked for me and would do what I wanted him to do.
• I was offered deals I did not like, each time he got me a better deal until he finally got me off all together!
• I did not have to go to jail or have house arrest!
• Most other attorneys would have talked me into taking the first plea bargain.

I hired Mr. Rowland as a defense attorney for a DUI. Before hiring him I read his website and liked what I saw. I set up a consultation and was really impressed by what he had to say. I had received several solicitations in the mail from other attorneys looking to represent me but I didnt care for that. I hired Mr. Rowland and from the start he told me to remember that he is working for me and will do what I want him do.

At the pre trial I was offered something that I did not like. Mr. Rowland told me he would like to talk to them more personally so we could possibly get a better deal. I also wanted a better deal. We moved forward with case and went for a motion to suppress. I met Mr. Rowland a little before the hearing and they had offered me a much less jail time and some house arrest. I liked the deal much better as I would not be spending so much time in jail. Mr. Rowland again informed me that he was working for me and he explained the other options I had available, which would going to a jury trial. Mr. Rowland then told me to wait a few minutes, he is going to see if he can get an even better deal. After about 10 minutes he walks out with a smile on his face and tells me that I am not being convicted of a dui anymore!

I could not believe it! Mr. Rowland went over every single detail in the report, he went through everything and found something in there that prevented them from convicting me. I did not have to go to jail and I did not get any house arrest. It may not seem like a big deal but it was a mandatory 20 days in jail if convicted.

I can not thank him enough for his help! It is obvious that he has spent a very long time learning everything there is to know about dui defense. I know I could not have done it without him and most other attorneys would have talked me into taking the plea bargain.
