Operating a Vehicle While Impaired (OVI) charges are serious legal issues that can profoundly impact your life. You could face legal repercussions, and your personal and professional life might also suffer. At The VanNoy Firm, we recognize the urgency of your situation and are committed to guiding you through the legal process. Our local OVI attorney offers comprehensive support as you navigate life after an OVI charge.
OVI, or Operating a Vehicle While Impaired, refers to the act of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The legal thresholds for intoxication typically include having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above the legal limit of 0.08% for drivers over the age of 21. For drivers under the age of 21, the permissible BAC is much lower, reflecting a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving. Beyond alcohol, impairment due to drug use can also lead to OVI charges.
The consequences of an OVI conviction can be severe and long-lasting. Penalties often include hefty fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs, community service and even imprisonment. Moreover, an OVI conviction results in a criminal record that can impede future employment opportunities, increase insurance premiums and restrict travel. Understanding these repercussions highlights the necessity of securing experienced legal representation to mitigate the impact on your life.
Facing an OVI charge can be daunting, but having a skilled attorney can make all the difference. Legal professionals with experience in OVI cases are adept at navigating the complexities of the legal system, identifying potential defenses and negotiating plea deals or alternative sentencing options.

The VanNoy firm was excellent, trustworthy, and reliable. Anthony VanNoy is smart, dependable!
Anthony was superb. I gave him a list of things I wanted out of my trial and he delivered.
I truly want to take the time to say what an amazing person Attorney VanNoy is. My son was going through a terrible battle with his son's mother, and truly Anthony took care of him like he was his own son. It does the heart good to see that there are such caring good people in this world. He made my son whole again happy again and most important he got him his son!!! I will never be able to explain what he has done for my family. Attorney VanNoy truly cares about his clients and the well-being of them.…
Such an amazing attorney! He worked very hard on my husbands case.
The VanNoy attorneys successfully represented me when I felt lost in a frightening system. The VanNoy support staff were helpful and responsive as well, obviously caring that the case was handled professionally and quickly. I knew I made the correct choice for an attorney with the first meeting. Mr VanNoy thoughtfully guided me through an emotional process, and I feel blessed to have worked with him. Thank you.
