How are blood and urine tests used in OVI cases in Ohio?

Answer:

Blood and urine tests may be used to prove an above-limit concentration or impairment. The defense can examine the grounds for requesting a sample, how it was collected, and the laboratory testing, including through a motion to suppress.

Blood and urine evidence may be used in an Ohio OVI case to address alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication. The government may rely on the results to establish a prohibited concentration or support an impairment allegation.

The evidence can be challenged. A motion to suppress may address the collection process, laboratory testing, or whether officers had sufficient grounds to request the sample.

Reviewing those issues is an important part of evaluating the reliability and admissibility of chemical-test evidence.

Dan Sabol is probably the best attorney I've ever worked with. Very professional and worked hard to get the best results possible. He will be the first person I call if I need a lawyer again. If you find yourself in a sticky situation make sure you give him a ring.
