DUI/OVI Overview

Cleveland, Ohio, DUI/OVI Defense Attorney

The law does not discriminate when it comes to drinking and driving. In recent years, Ohio has passed some of the strictest drunk driving laws in the United States — including mandatory minimum 90 day license suspensions for refusing to take a breathalyzer test. For many people, a drunk driving arrest is the first time they have been arrested. Driving drunk was a mistake, one they would like to learn from and move on.

Prosecutors are not always interested in this perspective, however, and it is important if you have been arrested for a DUI/OVI to contact an attorney who will make sure your rights are protected and that your future is not negatively affected.

If you've been arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence, please contact the Law Office of Hector G. Martinez, Jr. Co., LPA, by phone at 216-586-5491 or at 888-335-1398 toll-free to arrange for a confidential consultation.
