In Ohio, whether you signed the ticket or not means nothing. However, this is just your arraignment wherein you plead not guilty. Then you will want to get a lawyer with some experience in drunk driving law to look into your case by filing a Crim R. 16 Discovery Request, along with a motion to suppress evidence.

Once your attorney gets a look at how the arrest went down and whether the breath testing machine was calibrated properly, you will know a lot more about your situation, like whether you might be able to plea bargain the case down to Reckless Op.
