Understanding DUI Charges in Ohio
Ohio law takes DUI offenses extremely seriously. A DUI conviction can lead to:
- Criminal Charges: Misdemeanor or felony charges depending on BAC levels.
- Significant Fines: Substantial monetary penalties.
- License Suspension or Revocation: Immediate loss of driving privileges.
- Jail Time: Potential incarceration, particularly for repeat offenders or high BAC levels.
- Increased Insurance Rates: Substantial increases in your auto insurance premiums.
Even if you weren't initially arrested, if law enforcement has evidence suggesting you were impaired, you could still face administrative suspension of your driving privileges from the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS). The Albenze Firm can help you challenge these suspensions and protect your ability to drive.
