Columbus High-Level DUI Charges Reduced For A Recent Immigrant

Posted On: June 30th, 2016

If you find yourself accused of a crime, it is critical to speak with a qualified defense attorney, who can guide you through the legal process and find you the best available outcome. In that vein, a lot was on the line for a 34-year-old man in Columbus, Ohio after he was pulled over and charged with a high-level DUI offense. A consequent test showed his BAC was twice the legal limit, which increased his possible penalties to a mandatory license suspension, costly fines, a driver intervention program, and most likely three days in jail. Since he was originally from the Dominican Republic, he was very fearful that a jail sentence would make his eventual attempt to become an American citizen much more difficult. As a result, he knew that he needed to consult with a highly skilled Columbus DUI defense lawyer and reached out to Luftman, Heck & Associates.

Ultimately, Columbus DUI attorney Joseph J. Kunkel reviewed the facts of the case and began negotiating with the assigned prosecutor on the man’s behalf. Attorney Kunkel used his considerable experience with Ohio OVI/DUI cases and an extensive network of relationships to facilitate the removal of the high-level aspect of the client’s DUI charge. As a result, the man no longer faced any time in jail and he was quite pleased to know that this infraction would not unnecessarily impact his future ability to become an American citizen.
