Akron OVI Services
First-Time OVI Defense
First-time OVI charges in Akron carry penalties of 3 days to 6 months in jail, fines up to $1,075, and license suspension. I fight to have charges reduced or dismissed through careful analysis of police procedures and evidence.
Repeat OVI Defense
Second and subsequent OVI offenses carry mandatory minimum jail time and longer license suspensions. I understand the enhanced penalties and work to minimize consequences while exploring all defense options.
ALS Hearings
Challenge your automatic license suspension within 30 days. I represent clients at Administrative License Suspension hearings in Akron Municipal Court to restore driving privileges.
Drug-Related OVI
Ohio's per se limits for controlled substances require specialized defense. I challenge blood test procedures, chain of custody, and toxicology interpretations.
