About your Ohio driver’s license

Under Ohio OVI/DUI laws, your driver’s license will be suspended if you are arrested for suspicion of drunk driving. The duration depends on your blood alcohol content, age, number of previous driving drunk convictions and whether you submitted to a breath test or not.

You have the right to challenge the suspension of your license. To do so you must file an Administrative License Suspension Appeal within thirty days of your arrest. The appeals process is not held in a courtroom though it does include presentation of evidence gathered by police. You stand a better chance of retaining your driving privileges with legal counsel.
