Hi, I am Columbus Ohio DUI Attorney Jay Schwart. I understand that being charged with DUI/OVI can have a substantial impact on your life, family and employment. You face potential confinement (including the 3 day driver intervention programs), mandatory driver’s license suspensions, driver’s license reinstatement fees, court costs, and driver’s license points (which increase the cost of auto insurance). Ohio is continually passing new laws and Rules to make it appear that there are no defenses to DUI/OVIs. However, there are ways to challenge the validity of blood/breath alcohol testing (BAC testing), to challenge the validity of the traffic stop, to challenge the validity of a refusal to undergo BAC testing, and to challenge the validity of immediate administrative driver’s license suspensions (ALS). Yet, often these defenses are not considered or raised in court. I have the knowledge, training, experience and creativity to raise the proper defenses and fight for your rights, including the willingness to go to trial.

Jay's experience in Ohio DUI defense
I began practicing law in a small Ohio city in 1982. My first cases were criminal court appointments, which included representing people charged with DUI/OVI in Ohio. I saw very early that Ohio law enforcement often would not hesitate to exaggerate alleged bad driving or the results of field sobriety tests. Whatever was necessary to justify stopping a car, making an arrest, and trying to obtain a DUI/OVI conviction
Because of the attitude of many law enforcement officers, I was quick to learn that to help my clients, I must be aggressive, creative and zealous in my representation. This includes knowing the law, knowing the facts, understanding the dynamics of the scene of arrest where the initial questioning and field sobriety tests took place, knowing the procedures for blood/breath alcohol testing, and to be willing to go to trial.
