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.

Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Charge

By
Just one more reason you need a Criminal Defense Attorney By Darrell A. Clay   From Oct. 1, 2009 to Sept. 30, 2010, 83,946 individuals were charged with a federal felony or Class A misdemeanor. An astonishing 96.8 percent of them pled guilty, a rate slightly higher than, but roughly consistent with, each of the previous 10 years. 1  The plea rate in Ohio’s common pleas courts is somewhat lower—about 80 percent—although this is largely due to other forms of case disposition. Of 69,014 new criminal filings in fiscal year 2010, some 55,373 were resolved by plea agreement, but only 2,123—or about 3 percent—were resolved by bench or jury trial. 2   Despite the nearly routine decision to plea bargain in criminal cases, defense counsel must remain vigilant in ensuring that clients fully appreciate the sweeping consequences that flow from a guilty plea, particularly to a felony.
