OVI Defense in Delaware County: Courts, Penalties & Your Rights

Delaware County's rapid growth has brought heavier traffic and heavier enforcement along US-23, I-71, and the SR-315 and Sawmill corridors that feed the county's fast-expanding suburbs. Misdemeanor OVI and traffic cases are generally heard in the Delaware Municipal Court, which — unlike a mayor's court — is a court of record where evidentiary hearings and trials are available.

That makes Delaware County a venue where a well-prepared defense can press hard on the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the chemical testing. The firm knows how OVI cases tend to move through this court and uses that to your advantage.
