Ohio DUI/DWI Attorney

Services Overview

When someone is facing an  Operating a Vehicle under the Influence  OVI charge in Columbus, Ohio, the legal landscape can feel like a maze of breath tests, court dates, and potential license suspensions. R. Lee Roberts Law aims to protect your rights while minimizing the potential negative impact on your life.

1. Case Evaluation & Personalized Strategy

Every DUI is different. Everything starts with a deep review of:

  • Police reports
  • Chemical test results (breathalyzer, blood tests)
  • Field sobriety tests
  • Body cam or dash cam footage
  • Prior driving history

From there, together we craft a custom defense strategy tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution’s case.

2. Challenging Evidence & Procedure

As an experienced OVI defense attorney, I scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence to find weaknesses, including:

  • Improper traffic stop or lack of probable cause
  • Faulty calibration or administration of breath/blood tests
  • Mishandling of evidence
  • Improper administration of Field Sobriety Tests
  • Inconsistencies in officer testimony

These challenges can lead to suppressed evidence, reduced charges, or even case sometimes dismissal.

3. Negotiating Better Outcomes

As an experienced OVI lawyer, I leverage my relationships with prosecutors and judges across the state to pursue:

  • Charge reductions (e.g., from OVI to a lesser traffic offense)
  • Reduced penalties (fines, community service, education programs)
  • Alternative sentencing options
  • Avoidance of jail time

4. Courtroom Representation

If your case goes to trial,  I do the following:

Present your defense in court

  • Cross-examine witnesses and officers
  • Argue legal motions
  • Persuade judges and juries on your behalf

Why This Matters

As an expert OVI defense attorney, I don’t just show up in court — I craft outcomes that protect your freedom, your future, and your dignity. Across Ohio, many of my clients have seen:

  • Reduced charges
  • Minimal or no jail time
  • Preserved driving privileges
