Ohio DUI Lawyers - Attorneys specializing in DUI defense

Ohio's DUI laws include Administrative License Suspension (ALS). That means:

If you are stopped for drunk driving and you refuse to take the field sobriety test, or if your test results exceed the legal limit of Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC), the police officer can immediately take your driver's license, on the spot and the suspension begins at that moment.

It can also means that depending on previous offenses or refusals, you can have your license automatically suspended for a period of 90 days (3 months) and the suspension can be imposed for a period of up to five (5) years.

In Ohio, the DUI administrative suspension is independent of any jail term, fine or other criminal penalty imposed in court for a drunk driving offense.
