OVI Reduced to Reckless Operation

Posted On: September 30th, 2014 by Bradley J. Groene

A young man in his 20s who works as a manager for a Cincinnati retail company made a bad decision to try to drive after having a few drinks. An officer pulled him over and immediately noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from his car.  The officer charged the young man with OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor. He also was charged with speeding.

The young man had never been in trouble before, and wanted to keep a clean record. He was worried about an OVI on his record showing up in background checks and putting his career in serious jeopardy. He hired the Cincinnati Criminal Defense team at Luftman, Heck & Associates to represent him in court in Butler County.

Attorney Brad Groene defended the young man, and attacked the validity of the breath test administered to the defendant. He also pointed out problems the officer encountered when conducting the standard roadside field sobriety tests.

After reviewing the evidence and meeting with the prosecutor, attorney Groene was able to get the young man’s OVI charge reduced to reckless operation with no jail time and no probation.

Bradley Groene made an exceptionally difficult situation much easier to handle. He kept me informed of everything that was going to happen and got results for my case far better than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend him for anyone who finds themselves in legal troubles.
