Legal Question in DUI Law in Ohio

reducing charges for new mother

The other night I got pulled over for not having a license plate on the front of the car (you are required to have one on both the front and back). The officer asked if I had been drinking. I told him that I did have a few drinks earlier. He asked me to step out of the car and to complete some sobriety tests. I did three different ones and then took a breathalizer. I blew a .106 . This is my first offence and I have never been arrested for anything else, ever. I am desperate to get my charges reduced because I have a 2 1/2 month old baby and 3 days gone is out of the question. How realistic is it to hope that my charges can be reduced?

Re: reducing charges for new mother

The legal limit is .08 so blowing .106 is very close....close enough to ask for a reduction...there are other ways to avoid the 3 day mandatory part of the sentence as well...just find a lawyer, this is worth trying..call me directly if you want...216.952.1990
