How OVI Cases Are Defended
How Is an OVI Case Defended in Ohio?
Defending an OVI case starts with examining the evidence and the procedures used throughout the investigation. That can include the reason for the traffic stop, the officer’s observations, field sobriety testing, chemical testing, body camera or dash camera video, and whether law enforcement followed the required procedures.
This page explains how Ohio OVI cases are evaluated, the types of evidence that may be challenged, and how issues identified during the investigation can affect the defense of the case.

The Entire Investigation Matters
An OVI defense is not limited to a single test or piece of evidence. The traffic stop, roadside investigation, arrest, testing, video, and other evidence should be evaluated together.
Evidence Can Be Challenged
Field sobriety tests, chemical-test results, officer observations, video evidence, and other evidence may raise issues that affect how the case is defended.
Every Case Is Different
The appropriate defense strategy depends on the specific facts, evidence, legal issues, and circumstances of the individual OVI case.
