Blue Ash, Ohio

Blue Ash, Ohio, has it all. It is close to the big city amenities of Cincinnati just to the south and a world-class amusement park in Kings Island to the north. It provides a small-town community feel with its own events and festivals, yet has access to major league sports teams like the Reds and Bengals. Blue Ash boasts top-rated schools and a thriving business community. Recreational opportunities abound, like biking, team sports and the Sharon Woods Golf Course. Nestled in the Northeast corner of Cincinnati’s inner-belt, bordered by I-71 and I-275, getting to and from Blue Ash is easy.

While its location is near perfect, it can also make it a target for DUI enforcement. Make no mistake about it, getting a DUI can be extremely expensive and even life-changing. If you have been cited for a DUI in Blue Ash or anywhere else in Ohio, even if it is the first time, it is critical that you seek experienced and knowledgeable legal assistance in handling DUI cases.

What is DUI In Ohio?

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is referred to as OVI (Operating a Vehicle while Impaired) in the Buckeye State. As in most states, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for the vast majority of drivers in Ohio is .08. The legal limit is lower for those with a commercial driver’s license (CDL) and for drivers under the age of 21. It is very important to keep in mind that even when a driver is a first-time offender, if a conviction takes place, it can lead to mandatory jail time, significant fines, and a 3-year driver’s license suspension. Here is another aspect that few understand about an OMVI conviction in Ohio: While the six points may drop off your license in two years following your conviction, the OVI remains on your record forever.

Can I Avoid an OVI Conviction by Refusing a Breathalyzer Test?

According to the Ohio Bar Association, if you refuse to allow law enforcement to measure the amount of alcohol in your breath, you still may be convicted of OVI. Evidence of impairment — like the smell of alcohol, erratic driving, slurred speech, staggering during a field sobriety test, and even red or glassy eyes — can lead to a conviction. Refusing to submit to a chemical test results in civil penalties, including a one-year license suspension.

Ohio is very difficult on drivers convicted of an OVI, and it is why, if you live in Blue Ash, Ohio, or have been cited for a DUI in Blue Ash or elsewhere in Ohio, you need to get legal help immediately.

Ohio’s DUI Dude

Attorney Jeremiah Denslow is known as Ohio’s DUI Dude for his more than 15 years of experience specializing as a DUI and Criminal Defense Attorney. Why should you consider Ohio’s DUI Dude if you’ve been cited?

  • DUI and criminal defense are all we do. There are over one million laws in force in the United States. Out of all of these, we focus on just a few. This helps make us very good at what we do.
  • We take only a limited number of cases. Because we limit the number of cases we take on, this gives us the capability to provide more personal attention to each and every one of our clients.
  • We focus on Ohio DUI cases. Not only do we focus on DUI and criminal defense laws, we concern ourselves only with how they are applied to those in Ohio.

It is not uncommon for an attorney to refer to themselves as a DUI/OVI defense attorney, in spite of the fact they may also be representing domestic relations, personal injury and estate planning clients. These lawyers typically handle hundreds of cases at a time, simply taking on as many as possible. We believe focusing on the success of each and every case is a far superior approach to just concentrating on raw numbers.

We are a small practice with big ideas — and they have proved successful. We have been ranked Superior DUI Attorney by the National Advocacy for DUI Defense; a top-10 rated attorney under the age of 40 by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys; recognized as a top 100 trial lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers; and recognized as a top 100 DUI attorney in the state of Ohio by National Advocacy for DUI Defense. Jeremiah Denslow has previously been included in the Super Lawyers annual list of top attorneys and has a very high rating with the Avvo attorney-review service.
