Your Personalized DUI/OVI Attorneys in Chardon, Ohio
Going to a party and having a few drinks is innocent enough. However, proceeding to enter your car on the driver’s side isn’t — it’s dangerous and illegal. Hitting another car or pedestrian, injuring yourself or others, is irreversible.
Many believe these people are naturally irresponsible. However, at Denman & Lerner Co., L.P.A., our DUI/OVI attorneys in Chardon, Ohio, understand that mistakes, even severe ones, can come from good people. That’s why, whether it’s your first misdemeanor or you have recurring offenses, you can count on our law firm to study and assist with your case.
Remember, you won’t be our first client charged with an OVI. Visit our contact us page to get in touch and learn more about our case results.
What To Expect if You’re a First Time Offender
● Three-day minimum sentence in a local prison
● Three-day minimum enrollment at a driver intervention program. Commonly used probation programs include the Northeast Ohio Driver Intervention Programs and the OVI/DUI 72 Hour Driver Intervention Programs
● Temporary license suspension
It’s also important to understand that whether this was your first time caught while driving under the influence of alcohol or not, that blemish will remain indefinitely on your record. However, the second you are charged with an OVI, contact an attorney to represent your rights. Our DUI/OVI attorneys in Chardon, Ohio, will assess your case, uncovering details and options a public defender would not.

What To Expect if You Have Two or More Charges
Similarly, the more offenses, the more severe the repercussions. For instance, a third DUI results in a 30-day to one-year sentence, depending on factors like intoxication levels. Unlike first-time offenders, recurring offenders have:
● Larger sums to pay, reaching up to $2,500 or more, depending on DUI frequency
● A two-year minimum suspension of your driver’s license
● Confiscation of your vehicle
After multiple offenses, fighting a DUI becomes futile. Not only does a strong record stand against you as proof of your reckless driving, but Chardon, Ohio, laws are determined to punish felons. If you’ve received a ticket or booking for a DUI, we’ll lead you through the legal matter and fight for a lesser charge.
What Denman & Lerner Can Do for You
In the past, we’ve shortened jail sentences for both first-time and recurring offenders, allowing them to get back their lives faster. Similarly, we’ve shortened license suspension time for many in the Chardon, Ohio, courts. We’ve even represented clients on the brink of permanently losing their licenses, helping many keep their ability to drive.
We’ll also question numerous state laws and screenings that can possibly skew evidence out of your favor. The breath test, for instance, can show inaccurate results if an officer calibrates the machine incorrectly, if you have a medical condition, or if there’s a particle lodged in your mouth, that can affect the reading as well.
Our law firm will examine all the evidence to give you a case worth fighting.
