Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence in Ohio ("OVI") means driving a motor vehicle while you are impaired with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level of.08 or higher after drinking alcohol, taking a controlled substance (or substance), and/or using other chemical substances. An OVI conviction can result in fines, community service, probation, license suspension, and even, in some cases, jail time.
The state of Ohio considers operating a vehicle under the influence (referred to as OVI or DUI) as an extremely serious crime and will prosecute accordingly. This is particularly apparent if the individual accused is dealing with his or her second OVI / DUI charge, after being convicted once before.
You exhibited visible signs of drug and/or alcohol impairment by failing a field sobriety test or as reflected by your operation of a motor vehicle. Individuals charged with OVI / DUI in Ohio may face fines, fees, license suspension and possible jail time. However, there are instances in which you may be charged with a felony DUI/OVI offense.
In Ohio, it is against the law to drink alcohol while you are under the age of 21 years old. The Ohio legislature has passed "zero tolerance" laws pertaining to underage driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (OVI / DUI). If you or your child has been charged with Operation of a Vehicle after Underage Consumption in Ohio (OVUAC), hiring an experienced underage OVI / DUI attorney is critically important.
If you are currently on probation and are charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (OVI / DUI) in Ohio, there are many potential consequences that you should expect to face. First, you must consider whether an OVI / DUI charge would violate the terms of your probation.
If an OVI / DUI charge qualifies as a probation violation, it is possible that your probation will be revoked, you may be required to serve some or all of any suspended jail time you were previously sentenced to.It is also possible that a court will order your probation period to be extended. When handling delicate matters such as these, it is critical to consult with an experienced OVI lawyer at Tyack Law in Columbus, Ohio.

I haven't had any experience with a private lawyer untill an unfortunate incident led me to need one. Currently represented by Jon Tyack, I feel so much relief and confidence that going forward, my case will end in the best case scenario for me. Mr. Tyack is extremely personable, compassionate and thorough. I hope to never need a lawyer again going forward, however if I should, I will definitely be calling upon this law firm again. I'm extremely pleased with Mr. Tyack's counsel and aid. I've told everyone that I'm proud and priveledged to have him in my corner! Thank you so much Tyack law firm

Attorney James Tyack and Laura Albert (Paralegal) were both excellent and very professional. Everything about the case, including expenses, were explained in detail from the very beginning. We were always fully informed as the case proceeded up to the very end. I would highly recommend James Tyack and the firm for any legal issues.

Jonathon Tyack and his staff were supportive and easy to work with after a car accident I was in during an already stressful year. My case was managed with professionalism, respect, and he provided me with clear communication throughout the process. I am glad I was able to work with Jon and highly recommend him.
