Can I do jail time instead of DUI class?

Answered 12 years and 11 months ago by John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
What you are doing is actually extremely counterproductive to both getting "done with it" and receiving a restoration of your driving privileges. You had better see an attorney. You may well get the jail time, a continued suspension or revocation, and an enhanced longer suspension or revocation due to your driving while suspended. The position which you are taking appears to be very foolish and will cause you significant additional problems in the future.... Read More

Can I do jail time instead of DUI class?

Answered 12 years and 11 months ago by Michael J. Breczinski (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
No matter what you do your license will still be suspended for a time anyway. Going to jail will not hurry that up and may delay getting your license back. With an attitude that you do not want to do the classes, then the judge will probably give you all the time they can.

I received an OVI, wondering the sentence for my case. Am i going to serve any jail time or lose my license? how long?

Answered 13 years and 5 months ago by attorney Douglas E. Riddell   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
An OVI charge may carry jail time above the .17 legal limit.  The mandatory minimum jail time is 6 days for a High Test OVI charge, but 3 days may be served in a Driver Intervention Program.  You may also be able to avoid jail time altogether if you are able to negotiate a settlement to avoid the High Test charge.  You may want to speak with an experienced attorney regarding your options to avoid the High Test charge.  The OVI charge may also carry a 6-24 month license suspension....

Looking for an affordable DUI defense

Answered 13 years and 5 months ago by attorney Douglas E. Riddell   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
Hiring a DUI attorney can be a very expensive process.  I am not sure where in Ohio your case is located. I am an attorney in Columbus, Ohio and take clients in Columbus and in the surrounding areas, and I do have a reasonable fee structure that includes payment plans for qualifying clients.  If you are in Columbus or the surrounding counties and would like to discuss your case and options, my contact information is below: Riddell Law 614-361-2804 (phone) www.riddelllaw.com If you are not in Columbus, you might try calling the bar association in your local area or working with a public defender.  Either way, having an attorney for your DUI charge is critical in ensuring that you can achieve the best possible outcome in your case. ...
