First Offense OVI / DUI Reduced

A young oil/gas specialist was in Ohio to work in the field. While out one evening he was stopped by an officer. He was asked if he had been drinking and admitted he had. He was then asked to step outside of his vehicle and perform the roadside field sobriety tests. He complied. After performing the tests, he was charged with a first offense OVI / DUI. He was then asked to perform a breath test and refused. His license was out of state. Nonetheless, the office took his license and placed him under a 1 year administrative license suspension.

This young man had a very bright future in a very lucrative industry and was rightly concerned about the impact a first offense OVI / DUI conviction could have on that future. He began furiously researching hiring an OVI / DUI attorney. He spoke with some local attorneys and then he spoke with attorney Ben Luftman. After speaking with attorney Luftman, the Columbus Criminal Defense team was hired to represent him on the charge.

Attorney Luftman and attorney Dan Sabol represented the young specialist on the first offense OVI / DUI case. The case went through the OVI / DUI Court Process. Ultimately, the case was set for a jury trial. The day before trial, the prosecutor offered to amend the first offense OVI / DUI charge to a speeding violation. The resolution would keep any OVI / DUI conviction off our client’s record. He happily accepted the offer, resolved the case and moved on with his life.
