West Chester, Ohio

Located just north of the bustling metropolis of Cincinnati, West Chester is a township in the southwestern corner of Ohio and has a population of around 61,000 as of the 2010 census. When it was first established in 1823, it was actually named “Union,” though the name was officially changed to West Chester back in June of 2000.

Today, West Chester is a relatively quiet township, with much of its economy relying on the local school district and some large manufacturing hubs. Still, its close proximity to major cities such as Cincinnati and local attractions (such as the Kings Island amusement park in Mason, the next town over) makes it an exciting place to live. In fact, within just 10 miles of West Chester, you can find everything from large antique malls and shopping plazas to beautiful parks, museums, and breweries.

Could you end up paying thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees?

While it’s impossible to predict the future, you can take steps now to protect your rights and best interests.

That attorney is Jeremiah Denslow, also known as Ohio’s DUI Dude. He will work to represent your best interests through every step of your case and provide you with the guidance you need throughout the process. In some cases, he may even be able to utilize defense strategies to have your charges dismissed or negotiate a plea to lesser charges.

The Potential Impact of a Conviction

In Ohio, the possible sentences following a DUI/OVI conviction can vary greatly, depending on whether this was your first offense or you are a repeat offender. If this is your first offense, for example, you may end up being sentenced to a few days in jail, temporary license suspension, extensive fines, and even possible drug/alcohol counseling if you are convicted.

If this isn’t your first offense, you can expect the jail time and the fines to increase; you could end up paying as much as $10,000 in fines and potentially end up having an ignition interlock device placed on your vehicle. In serious felony DUI convictions, you could even permanently lose your license, which can have a huge impact on your life.

Knowing Your Rights and Possible Defenses

The good news is that if you’re facing any level of DUI, OVI, or related charge, Ohio’s DUI Dude can help you review the details of your case and determine which defenses can potentially be used to have your charged dismissed or reduced. For example, one common defense for DUI or OVI is that the traffic stop initiated by the arresting officer was not legal or that the officer did not have probable cause for the arrest. In some cases, it may also be argued that the results of a BAC test were inaccurate or that the test was improperly administered.

Proving these defenses for DUI/OVI charges can be a difficult task, which is why it’s so important to have the help of an experienced DUI attorney through the process. Jeremiah Denslow has successfully utilized a wide range of defenses in court, and he has the experience needed to help you with your case.
