Drunk Driving Arrests in Madison County

Drunk driving arrests in Madison County, Ohio are typically made either by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Madison County Sheriff's Office or a police department in Madison County such as the City of London OH Police Department. Law enforcement officers from any department are required to abide by certain procedures for traffic stops and sobriety checkpoints. If you were arrested by a law enforcement officer unlawfully, then your charges could be dismissed or reduced. We will evaluate evidence like this as a part of building a strong case for your defense.

Court Hearings, Restricted Driving Privileges and More

One of the major benefits of retaining a Madison County DUI/OVI lawyer from KBN for your defense is that we can often handle your first hearing without you being present. Not having to appear at this hearing can alleviate a significant amount of stress and burden. If this is your first DUI and your breath test indicated a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent to .15 percent then you may be eligible for restricted driving privileges on day 16 after your arrest.

If you refused a chemical test such as a breath test and it is your first offense of that nature, then you may be eligible for restricted driving privileges on day 31 after your arrest. In some cases, the judge assigned to your case may not grant these privileges on the first day of your eligibility, but may wait until the very end of your case. Our firm can help you petition for restricted driving privileges.

Another major benefit in retaining our law firm is our familiarity with the courts in counties throughout Ohio, including Madison County. Our lawyers go out of their way in order to build relationships with the judges and other court personnel, because in the long run, we believe it helps ensure our clients get treated with respect and fairness.
