OVI/DUI Defense

Columbus, Ohio OVI/DUI Defense Lawyer

Known by multiple acronyms including DUI, OVI, OMVI and DWI, a drunk driving conviction may result in serious consequences: increased insurance rates, points on your driving record, a driver's license suspension, yellow license plates, vehicle immobilization, and even a mandatory jail sentence.

A skilled DUI lawyer like Shawn R. Dominy, Attorney at Law can help minimize or eliminate those penalties. If your driver’s license was suspended, you could have your license reinstated or obtain limited driving privileges. You may avoid yellow license plates and immobilization of your vehicle. You could receive a three-day alcohol program instead of jail time. You may be able to resolve your case without having an OVI conviction on your record.

Experienced DUI/OVI Attorney On Your Side

There are several reasons for which your charges could be reduced or dismissed. Did the officer have justification for stopping your vehicle? Did the officer administer the field sobriety tests properly? Did the officer have probable cause to arrest you? Was the breath testing machine in proper working order? Was the breath/blood/urine test administered in compliance with state regulations?

I am an experienced OVI lawyer in the central Ohio area. I have undergone training in field sobriety testing, I have studied the science of evidential alcohol testing (blood/breath/urine), and I have been trained on breath testing machines used in Ohio. I speak at seminars on the topic of Ohio DUI law and participate in national seminars for DUI defense.

It is important to speak with an effective DUI/OVI lawyer to evaluate your particular case. I have the skill and experience to defend you effectively, and I want to help. Contact me today to arrange for a consultation.
