What are the costs associated with an OVI?

By
If you plead guilty or are convicted of a first OVI (operating a vehicle under the influence) offense, the judge may fine you a minimum of $375 and a maximum of $1,075. In addition, you will have to pay a driver’s license reinstatement fee of $475. Finally, if the judge sentences you to attend a Driver Intervention Program, there will be a cost associated with that program as well.

Of course, this doesn't have to be the case if you hire a good Criminal Defense Attorney. One of the benefits of hiring Attorney Joshua Hall is that he may be able to get your charge reduced or dismissed.

Why do I need a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

Criminal Defense Lawyers Help Protect Clients' Rights Q: What is the job of the criminal defense lawyer? A:  The criminal defense lawyer does not simply question witnesses when representing an accused person in court. The lawyer also must make sure that the client is afforded all of the protections provided through the laws and constitutions of federal and state governments.  Q: What, specifically, does the criminal lawyer do to make sure an accused person is protected?   A:  Once a person has been formally accused of a crime, he or she goes to court for an “arraignment.” An arraignment is a formal reading of the criminal complaint to inform the accused person of the charges.

What Can My Defense Attorney Do For Me?

By
A criminal defense lawyer has many jobs. In addition to calling witnesses in your defense and cross-examining witnesses that the prosecution puts forward, your criminal defense attorney may also: Work with you and the prosecutor to negotiate a "deal." These deals, also known as "plea bargains" can often reduce your potential sentence or eliminate some or all of the charges brought against you. However, prosecutors are often unwilling to negotiate with defendants that represent themselves. Figure out a good sentencing program for your situation.
