Columbus OVI Lawyer
In Ohio, drunk driving cases are oftentimes referred to as OVI (operating a vehicle while intoxicated) cases. When a person is arrested for OVI, it can lead to two different cases. These cases include a court case, where the person receives different penalties and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles case, where the person's driving privileges are affected.
