OVI Penalties, Court Process, and Your License

A first-offense OVI in Ohio is a first-degree misdemeanor with mandatory minimum penalties, and those penalties increase for high-test cases and for second, third, and subsequent offenses. Your case will move through arraignment, discovery, pretrial, and, if necessary, motions and trial. Separate from the criminal case, your license is subject to an Administrative License Suspension that can often be challenged, and limited driving privileges may be available. Charlie will explain exactly how each of these applies to your Miamisburg case.

What Miamisburg Clients Say

Mr. Rowland was highly recommended to me by others he had helped and I made the right choice by hiring him; this man clearly knows what he is doing and I could not be happier with the results. I was facing a DUI (with a history of DUIs), and a Hit-and-Run. He traveled to a different county and immediately got the DUI thrown out. I walked out of the court house this morning with not a single day in jail. I never even had to stand in front of a judge. From the very beginning he was honest and up front about everything. He and his staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept me informed through the entire process. They took care of everything, all I had to do was show up. He assured me that I had hired him to do a job and that he would do his best for me, he was true to his word. Thanks Charlie!
