I'm not sure what your question is. If you have questions regarding SSI, it would be better to contact an attorney that specializes in that field.
Its actually 2 in ten years and 3 in 20 years is what the person has. The court is trying to drop it to an unclassified misdemeanor 1 and I don't see how that is even possible considering the indictment was signed by a grand jury for the Felony 4 ovi. You can't just change something... Read more »
They can and do amend charges all the time. It seems like an odd mistake to make owing to how simple it is to count years and convictions, but the mistake was made and so it has to be corrected. There's no violation of civil rights. The defendant gets a huge benefit here, why would he not want... Read more »
Before this I was on probation and broke it for getting a DUI and went to jail for one year then got on probation again this time and for the first time broke it by testing positive for alcohol and then got in the accident the next day in geauga county
You are subject to the same maximum penalties as you were for the original charge. Every time you violate probation the punishment typically increases. What should you do? Hire an attorney to get you the best possible resolution. Don't expect a miracle with these facts however.
does the court have to provide transportation?
The court will only provide transport if the individual is incarcerated or in an inpatient mental health facility by order of the court.
i dont know what your fee is but i feel it's worth it for me to fight and im more valuable to my family staying free. I have a thousand now and i have a new small auto company, so with my contracts that i have active, im hoping we can work with me?
This is a forum. It’s likely you can find someone to work with you, but you’ll need to reach out individually to some lawyers in your area.
Have a friend that got pulled over. The cop just followed him home. He ran his license but there was no ticket given and he wasn't arrested. He told the cop he had a few beers when he got pulled over.
In theory, yes, they could come back and ticket you or send you a summons. In practice, they usually arrest immediately.
Example if the ticket says refused to take a breathalyzer but the police report states there is a bac level of .117
More information is need. A lot of times what's happening here is that the individual took a portable breath test by the side of the road, which is inadmissible due to reliability issues, and then refused to take the test back at the station. If that is the case, then the refusal charge is... Read more »
I've come to the conclusion I cannot expunge a DUI in the state of Ohio. Therefore, I was asking if I could reduce the Felony that came along with it. Maybe try to get it reduced to misdemeanor? Keep the DUI but get rid of having to put I was convicted with a felony. This is felony is from... Read more »
If you are referring to reducing a felony OVI, yes there is a possibility of doing that WHILE the case is pending. The same is true for other felonies. However, after you have already been convicted, you cannot obtain a reduction because you have alread plead and been sentenced. Your case is... Read more »
NO. PURSUANT TO OHIO REVISED CODE SECTION 2953.36(A)(2), A DUI IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING EXPUNGED.
SORRY TO PASS THIS ALONG.
PAT DICHIRO
In Ohio, traffic offenses - including DUIs - remain on a person's record. They do not drop off at any time in terms of background checks. However, auto insurance companies typically only look back so far. One would expect that a school would see a prior Ohio DUI conviction if it ran a... Read more »
In the state of Ohio, your license is automatically suspended if you refused OVI testing or had a BAC reading of .08 or above. So, if you were arrested for OVI you should expect to receive notification relatively soon of your upcoming suspension. You do have 30 days after the initial appearance for... Read more »
Was dropped to a first, will my 3rd have 2nd DUI penalties? I’m going to treatment for 4-6 months, will this help my case?
It depends how it is charged. The way that an OVI is "dropped" to a first instead of second is that the prosecutor simply doesn't allege the prior conviction. It's still there. The prosecutor this time around could allege both prior convictions making it a third, or could allege... Read more »
A court order issued in June says he must have restrictive plates, but there is no indication as to when the restriction would end.
The restriction ends when his limited driving privileges end and he can go back to having a regular license, which will be when any suspension ordered is over with.
Okay. It appears that you recently got an OVI not OWI. So you are eligible for driving privileges as follows:
1) IF this is your first in 10 years, then you can obtain driving privileges after 15 days if you took the breath test and tested over, if you refused the test, then it is 30 days;... Read more »
fighting to get dismissed 2day at 2nd pretile they asked for a urine sample this is illegal so i left
You have not asked a question but challenging their evidence is something you really ought let a lawyer do for you. Also, if you simply stormed out of a pretrial, there’s a chance they’ve issued a warrant.
Ten years ago I plead guilty to dui. Like a fool, I didn’t pay my fines or court costs. I have been in no trouble since but I want to make everything right and get my license back. I am ill and on dialysis while I await transplant and traveling to the original court is impossible.
You should contact an attorney who may help you take care of this. There can be times when the only remaining thing to take care of with a case is payment of fines/costs, and an attorney can file a motion along with payment of the outstanding costs to get the court to withdraw the warrant....

I am from PA but was driving through Ohio. I stopped at a gas station and while pumping gas I found a strange package. I was unsure of what it was but my curiosity took over and i grabbed it, throwing it in the trunk of my car.
I was already driving with marijuana and marijuana... Read more »
You should hire an attorney. There are several problems with your defense. First, ownership is not the issue. Possession is. Second, just because you're clean also doesn't mean your not guilty of the possession charge. It is illegal to possess these drugs whether you use them or not.... Read more »
I was on vacation and was charged with dui but immediately released. I honestly forgot about it for years but now I have to get my license and Ohio has a hold. I assume I have to come and turn myself in. I consulted with one lawyer who said he could get this resolved in probably 1 hearing as I am... Read more »
Yeah, you have to deal with it in Ohio. Hire the best lawyer that you can afford , but if you are homeless then look for free representation through the Public Defender or other free lawyer services up there.
cop said i swerved one time. failed one part of sobriety test because of harsh wind and it was freezing. i had a small amount of marijuana, a pipe, 2 open containers and one unopened. should i i plead guilty
You should talk with an experienced OVI attorney immediately and certainly before entering any plea. You do not want to give up your rights without exploring what they are, what happened and what you are charged with.

Yes, if it is your second OVI then you should contact an attorney immediately. You could use the find a lawyer link here.
