Legal Question in DUI Law in Ohio

Re: Vehicular Homicide

It really depends. Typically, first time DUI offenders will be given the minimum sentence which requires 3 days in jail (substituted for a 3 day alcohol treatment program) and fines which could range upwards to 1000 dollars. If someone was killed, it obviously could be a lot worse. Without knowing the particulars, I would not be able to tell you. If you want, call me or email me and fill me in with the facts and I can better assist you.

Re: Vehicular Homicide

Assuming your step-daughter was not under suspension at the time of the accident, if the death of the other person was the result of a DUI, she could br sentenced to up to eight years in prison. If she was under suspension at the time, she could get up to ten years. When you say there was a possibility of DUI, what do you mean?

Re: Vehicular Homicide

Whether or not this is her first offense, she is looking at mandatory prison time. Did she perform the breathalyzer? What was the reading?

She needs a deal or she's going to prison! Feel free to call me directly: 216.952.1990
