People call it a DUI, but Ohio law calls it an OVI. That distinction confuses drivers every single day.

The state doesn't just look at alcohol levels when pulling you over. Under Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.19, operating a vehicle under the influence includes drugs of abuse and prescription medications. You can get arrested even if your breath test reads zero.

Prosecutors use field sobriety tests and officer testimony to build cases that stick. Fighting an OVI charge requires taking apart the traffic stop from minute one.

If you are facing OVI charges in Columbus or anywhere in Ohio, don't wait for your court date to figure out a plan. Head over to Attorney Adam Burke right now to get a direct consultation and start building your defense.
