In our modern age, it's almost mandatory to own or have access to a vehicle. We use cars and trucks to commute to work, school, run errands, and even go to bars or clubs. Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not an uncommon crime. It is also one that is committed so casually and without thinking that the driver doesn't expect to be pulled over.

Local law enforcement officers and deputy sheriffs throughout Montgomery County are always on the lookout for potential drunk drivers. However, it is possible for these upholders of the law to make mistakes in pulling a driver over or in administrating a chemical test. In some cases, drivers with no alcohol or drugs in their system can erroneously give a positive result in a field sobriety test, breathalyzer test, or blood test.

Our legal team is highly knowledgeable about the science behind DUI testing in Ohio. In fact, one of our attorneys is a former Ohio prosecutor who has not only tried these cases, but has been asked to speak at law enforcement seminars about DUI litigation issues. Having a respected authority about DUI defense and prosecution at your side may prove extremely useful.

We work hard to secure case dismissal, acquittals, reductions, and other favorable outcomes in cases of drunk driving. Our defense attorneys also provide representation and guidance to help you get your driver's license back during the administrative aspect of your case.
