Recently, a Central Ohio man found himself facing first-time charges for operating a vehicle while under the influence (OVI) after high results on a BAC (blood alcohol content) test. Knowing the implications a conviction for this offense could have on his life and livelihood (the man held a commercial driver’s license [CDL]), he reached out to the skilled Columbus DUI lawyers from Luftman, Heck & Associates.
The client wanted to protect his CDL and personal driver’s license at all costs, and avoid the possible penalties of a conviction, which included:
- Serious consequences for his CDL and career
- A one-year suspension of his personal driver’s license
- A mandatory three days in jail
- Completion of a driver intervention program
- $375 in fines
LHA immediately got to work on the case. After negotiations with the court, we were able to get the client’s charge reduced to physical control. As such, the client retained both licenses, his job, and only had to pay a fine.
