My name is Robert Healey and I am a lawyer that limits his practice
to DUI defense in southwest Ohio. This blog is written by me to
help potential clients in the Cincinnati area that have been
charged with a DUI. If you are charged with DUI you might
also be suspended even before you will got to court. This is
an administrative license suspension or ALS. Before going to
court the first time is the best time to hire a lawyer. Your
lawyer can examine your paperwork for errors and make the best
objections possible at court in an effort to get that suspension
set aside and get you driving again pending the outcome of your
case. The police officer fills out the BMV 2255, the yellow
full size paper you were given with along with the ticket. It
says Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Report of Law Enforcement Officer,
and Administrative License Suspension at the top. This is an
affidavit that the police use to swear that they had reasonable
ground to arrest you for DUI, that they read you the advice on the
back, and that you were asked to take a chemical test by blood,
breath, or urine and the results were a test over the legal limit
or a refusal of the test. You cannot demand one test over the
other. The police can ask for more than one type of
test. You do have the right to have your own independent test
done at your own expense upon release. A suspension on a
first offense test over is 90 days. You can ask for
privileges to drive after 15 days. A suspension on a
first offense for a test refusal on a DUI is 1 year. You can
request privileges after 30 days for work, school, vocational, and
medical needs. And remember, if you or a family member has
been arrested for DUI in the Cincinnati Area – including: Hamilton,
Butler, Warren, Clermont, Montgomery, and Greene Counties – call
me, ROBERT HEALEY, or one of my qualified associates at
513.333.0014. We are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a
week. Because now is the perfect time to put a team that
includes a FORMER POLICE OFFICER and a FORMER PROSECUTOR to
work….for you!
