DUI Defense Attorney In Newark, Ohio
If you have been arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI) in Ohio, your driving privileges are in jeopardy. It is vital that you get an experienced defense attorney involved as soon as possible. At Calesaric Law, I offer the background, resources and skill required to keep you on the road.
The charge of OVI (also called DUI or OMVI) is both urgent and complicated, especially if you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL). Not only do you have an OVI, most likely, you have an administrative license suspension (ALS) through the BMV. You must request a license hearing within 30 days of your arraignment or your driver’s license (including your CDL) will remain suspended for up to five years.
Your driving rights should not be surrendered easily. Contact my firm as soon as possible for vigorous defense of your driving privileges. Call now at
Experience As A Prosecutor And In OVI Defense
Because OVI/DUI defense cases can be so complicated, it is important to find a criminal defense lawyer who has practiced in the area enough to understand all of the legal technicalities. There are certain defenses that you must raise at your first appearance or you will waive those defenses. I offer that background.
I spent six years prosecuting OVI/DUI-based cases in Licking County before I became a criminal defense attorney. I know how the State prepares its case against you. I know what the legal issues are in a drinking and driving case, and I am in a better position to defend you. I have spent the last 25 years defending these cases, including those involving prior OVI offenses. I am certified in roadside field sobriety testing and in the most common breath (BAC) machine used in Ohio.

Breathalyzer and blood test results are not infallible. These machines and procedures are subject to errors, contamination and operator mistakes. My technical certifications allow me to identify flaws in BAC evidence that other attorneys miss.
