Man in Campbell County Avoids Second in Time DUI

Attorney Brad Groene recently assisted a 27 year old client who was facing a second in time DUI charge in Campbell County. The lookback period for DUI offenses in Kentucky is 10 years. This man’s first DUI occurred seven years previous, so he knew he needed the help of a skilled DUI lawyer who would help him avoid the mandatory jail time that comes with a second in time DUI, and the potential loss of his job. This is what brought him to Luftman, Heck & Associates.

Even though his client took a breath test and blew a 0.15 percent BAC, attorney Groene was able to get the charges reduced to a non-aggravator first in time DUI. This was achieved through reviewing tapes that revealed the flaws in the officer’s case/the way the officer obtained evidence from attorney Groene’s client.

Because of this reduction in charges, the client was able to avoid jail time and house arrest, and was able to maintain his employment and driver’s license.

Fairborn OVI Reduced to Physical Control Violation

Ohio criminal defense lawyer Brad Groene with Luftman, Heck, and Associates recently assisted a young woman from Fairborn, Ohio after she was pulled over on her way home from work and charged with an OVI for drugged driving.

In an effort to find a result that did not involve the haunting effects of an OVI conviction, attorney Groene persisted and by highlighting his client’s lack of prior criminal history in addition to some procedural errors by the police, he negotiated to amend the OVI to a more agreeable physical control violation, which is a 0-point traffic infraction. Due to this drastic reduction, the woman was saved from an OVI appearing on her permanent record, but she was also spared from the license suspension and excessive fees that usually accompany a conviction.
