Help, I Got a DUI

by | Dec 29, 2025 | CRIMINAL DEFENSE, DUI |

Call an attorney who has experience handling criminal charges; including specifically DUI, DWI and OVI  charges. The handling of these charges is unique as there may be bond conditions which limit driving or require testing or pretrial, as well as pretrial orders which may suspend driving privileges.

If you have a prior DUI in the last 10 years or if you refused an alcohol test (breathalyzer or blood test request), then the court will issue a Pretrial Suspension of your license. If you have an out-of-state driver’s license Kentucky will NOT take your license, but will suspend your right to drive in the state. We often see Ohio licensed drivers who may still need privileges because of work in Kentucky.

Kentucky does have option for suspended drivers to have Ignition Interlock Device installed on your vehicle. This is an excellent option for many drivers so that they can continue to drive to/from/during work, but also allows for driving at other times and for any reason.  While still onerous, we help to streamline the process and get you back driving as soon as possible.  [email protected] heads up the process and can assist clients in obtaining privileges.

DUI and OVI charges. Every year I end up with at least a couple of old or new clients who get arrested for Driving Under the Influence. This has been a staple of my practice for 30 years and continues to be an area that I know I can be of great help to clients. Many clients start with the thought that, “Well, I’m guilty.”  A criminal and DUI defense lawyer knows that there are many steps that may avoid a guilty finding. Additionally, even if a case winds up with a guilty plea, there are many things that the attorney can assist to minimize the impact on your life.
