I was arrested and charged with OVI (includes alleged failed field sobriety test and alleged .125 breath test) in Columbus, OH by an Ohio State Trooper during a week-long trip to see family. I am currently a resident of Florida (for 2+ years in Broward County) and have a valid license there. I already have counsel for my on-going OVI defense in Franklin County, however I would like to find out the effects that any possible convictions/pleas I'm facing in OH (OVI, physical control, reckless operation, etc) could have on my driving privileges in FL. Thank you.

Simply put, whatever Ohio does with your license, Florida will reciprocate back. In other words, for example, if Ohio says your license is suspended for one year, then you won't be able to get your Florida driver's license privileges reinstated until that suspension is over with.
