THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A CLEVELAND DUI LAWYER HANDLE YOUR DUI/OVI CHARGES.
It is important to have a Cleveland DUI Lawyer represent you when you have been charged with a DUI/OVI. A DUI is a very serious charge, one that carries with it many penalties that are unique to the charge of DUI. Many DUI lawyers are simply not equipped, or experienced enough, with DUI laws to effectively represent a person charged with these crimes.
The advantages of having a Cleveland DUI Lawyer handle your DUI charges are that they are attorneys who understand the complexities of the law. If you take a look at the Ohio Revised Code, Section 4511.19, you can quickly understand how complicated DUI defense is. At Patituce & Associates, LLC, we have significant experience as Cleveland DUI Lawyers. Joseph Patituce is a former Cuyahoga County Prosecutor who has both prosecuted, and now defended many individuals charged with DUIs.
Cleveland DUI Lawyers challenge the police, and the evidence they claim to have against you. These lawyers do not just give up and force you to enter a guilty plea, they make sure that all of your legal options are exhausted – and your life protected before suggesting you enter a guilty plea.
If the police did not conduct your breath, blood, or urine test in a very specific manner the results cannot be used against you! It is important that the DUI lawyer you hire knows all of these specifications and how to use them.
TALK WITH A CLEVELAND DUI LAWYER ABOUT WHAT PENALTIES YOU FACE FOR A DUI.
Most people, and even most DUI lawyers, do not know that in Ohio there are two legal limits. Everyone knows about the legal limit of .08, but only Cleveland DUI Lawyers know about the second limit of .017.
In Ohio, if you test over .08 but under .17 for a first offense you are facing a mandatory three day period in jail, and a fine of up to $1025. If you test over .17 you are facing significantly more jail time and other restrictions. This is just one example of why it is important to hire a Cleveland DUI Lawyer today if you, or a loved one, has been charged with a DUI.
If you have a prior DUI you face the possibility of being charged with a felony, or facing tougher misdemeanor sanctions. If you are convicted of a felony you could face years in prison!
