DUI/OVI Charges Are Serious

Throughout Ohio, law enforcement officials have been expanding efforts to crack down on drunk driving offenses.  If you face DUI/OVI charges for driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two, you could lose your driver’s license for a lengthy period – or even land in prison. Being convicted of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated can have serious consequences, including loss of license, higher insurance costs, heavy fines and jail time. Candace Kim-Knox, Attorney at Law has the knowledge necessary to overcome the evidence against you, and the tenacity to help you attain the best possible outcome.

Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?

As a licensed driver, you have already given implied consent for testing by a police officer who has probable cause to believe that you are under the influence of an intoxicating substance. The police officer might ask you to stand on one leg, walk in a straight line, recite the alphabet, or submit to a breathalyzer test. You do have the right to refuse, but know that in many states, you will lose your driver’s license immediately. However, Candace Kim-Knox, Attorney At Law might be able to intervene more effectively on your behalf in that case. If, on the other hand, you’ve already submitted to a test, there’s still hope. In some cases, we can show that the results of a urinalysis, blood alcohol, or breathalyzer test are questionable due to faulty calibration, human error, weather conditions or medical situations. So never lose hope - we can help. Contact our experienced DUI/OVI law firm today.

Counselor Advising On What To Do If You Are Stopped

If you have been pulled over by the police, there are several ways that you can help yourself:

  • Do not be intimidated by the police. If you are nervous, police officers may think that you are hiding something or are intoxicated. Don’t give them that opportunity. Remaining calm and being polite are good ways to ensure that police officers leave you alone.
  • Clean out your glove box. Fumbling through these compartments to find your registration or insurance can be easily misinterpreted as intoxication. Keeping the glove box or center console neat and clean allows you to swiftly grab your identification and present it to a police officer.
  • Do not let the police search your car. Any evidence found in your car could be used to support a DUI/OVI conviction. Do not allow the officer to perform a search without a warrant.
  • Take the sobriety test. Many DUI/OVI defendants have been found not guilty due to a malfunctioning breath analyzing machine or an improperly administered blood or urine test. Also, you may still blow under the legal limit.
  • Get a blood test after release. Alcohol detection devices can be unreliable and malfunction. Don’t go to jail because of a broken machine. It’s a good idea to measure your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) with a blood test after arrest. At trial, your attorney can use that evidence to raise possible defenses.
  • Contact a DUI/OVI attorney immediately.
