The Painesville DUI Lawyers who firmly uphold the principles of "innocent until proven guilty" and "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." Our clients rely on us for a bold, strategically aggressive defense.
As active DUI/OVI defense attorneys in county, municipal, and mayor's courts throughout Northern Ohio, we have built a strong reputation based on our comprehensive understanding of Ohio OVI laws. Our extensive experience allows us to effectively investigate and challenge charges while honing our ability to persuade prosecutors, judges, and juries.
Modern OVI defense requires in-depth knowledge of constantly evolving laws and increasingly severe penalties. Successful representation demands an attorney with a focused OVI practice combined with thorough understanding of current scientific research and law enforcement protocols.
Our team maintains certification in NHTSA Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) , the same training required of law enforcement officers. We've also completed the week long intensive "Forensic Analysis for Legal Professionals" course, where we gained hands-on experience operating gas chromatographs and learning the science behind blood, breath, and urine alcohol and drug testing. This combination of law enforcement training and forensic laboratory expertise enables us to challenge both the roadside investigation and the chemical testing at the heart of OVI cases.
We offer client-centered, results-driven legal services focused on delivering exceptional value.
In addition to free initial telephone consultations, we offer flat fees and payment plans to increase access to quality legal representation.
