Ohio Laws on Multiple OVI Charges

Many of our clients are concerned because they have been arrested for a second, third, or higher DUI. There are serious consequences to consider, because the penalties increase with each conviction. There is not only an increased risk of significant jail time, but also hefty fines and long license suspensions. Depending on the number of previous convictions on your record, you could be facing a felony—which could mean prison.

2nd DUI in Ohio Penalties

in Ohio, if you are convicted of a second DUI offense in 6 years, you face enhanced penalties.Getting a second DUI in 6 years means that you face the following:

  • 10 or 20 days in jail
  • possibility of getting a sentence of up to 6 months in jail
  • required to have an alcohol / drug assessment
  • can be required to receive treatment for alcohol or drug dependency

You will also be required to have “party plates” and an interlock device put on your car. Further, your car could be immobilized for 90 days.
