Driving under OVI / DUI Suspension Dismissed

A gentleman in his mid-60s was convicted of an OVI / DUI charge and his license was suspended. During the period of suspension, he was driving without valid driving privileges. He was pulled over for a moving traffic violation by a Columbus Police Department officer. After running his license, the officer realized that he was driving under OVI / DUI suspension. When he was unable to produce driving privileges, the officer charged him with driving under OVI / DUI suspension and the minor traffic violation. His case was scheduled in Franklin County Municipal Court.

The gentleman was extremely concerned. If convicted, he was looking at three days mandatory in jail, in addition to a license suspension and fine of up to $1,000. He knew he needed help. He reached out to attorney Ben Luftman. After speaking with attorney Luftman, the Columbus Criminal Defense team was hired to try and keep the elderly gentleman out of jail.

Attorneys with LHA represented our client on his driving under OVI / DUI suspension case. After six court dates, we were able to negotiate a resolution where both charges were dismissed upon our client’s payment of court costs. The dismissals kept our client out of jail, kept the six points off his license, kept him from having an additional license suspension and a high fine. To say our client was relieved by the resolution is an understatement.
