Second Offense OVI with Prior Refusal Reduced to Physical Control

Recently, an individual in Central Ohio was charged with a second OVI (operating a vehicle under the influence) offense with a prior refusal. The potential penalties for such a crime include:

• Jail time
• A driver’s license suspension
• $525 in fines + costs

Wanting to avoid these life-altering consequences, they reached out to Columbus criminal defense lawyer Luftman, Heck & Associates of Luftman, Heck & Associates for help.

Attorney Bowen quickly got involved in the case and began negotiating on the client’s behalf. Due to this quick action, the client’s charge was reduced to physical control. As a result, they did not go to jail. Rather, they were assigned to complete a three-day driver intervention program at a hotel. In addition, the client was ordered to pay $375 + costs in fines, and their driver’s license was suspended – though they were awarded work privileges.
