OVI/DUI Defense

If you have been charged with OVI/DUI in Dublin, you could be facing significant criminal penalties as well as life-altering collateral repercussions. OVI is typically referred to as DUI in other jurisdictions and requires the prosecutor to prove any one of the following situations:

The defendant drove with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) over the legal limit
The defendant was driving while impaired by drugs, alcohol, or both
A specific concentration of certain illegal drugs was found in the defendant’s blood
Drugs, alcohol, or both impaired an individual to a point where their ability to drive safely was compromised

Regarding BAC, the legal BAC for adults 21 years old and older is below .08%. For minors, the threshold is much lower at .02%, and for drivers of commercial vehicles, such as big rigs, the threshold sits at .04%.

Whether you’ve been arrested for OVI on I-270 or in the driveway of your own home, a strong defense developed by our team can help you protect your future.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is a powerful way to protect your assets and provide for your loved ones in the future. However, there are a lot of moving parts involved with comprehensive estate planning.

No matter your financial status, consulting with our Dublin estate planning attorneys is vital for ensuring your wishes are honored after you pass.

Estate Planning Tools

Numerous estate planning tools are available to help turn your estate planning wishes into realities, including:

Last wills and testaments
Trusts
Living wills
Power of attorney

With the complexities involved with today’s assets and finances, our estate planning team uses both innovative as well as tried-and-true tools and solutions to properly serve our clients.

Passing Without an Estate Plan in Dublin

If you pass without an estate plan in Ohio, the state will step in to determine how to distribute or dispose of your assets, leaving your loved ones with no say.

Passing without an estate plan can leave your loved ones harmed financially and otherwise. For example, a special-needs child may not get the essential resources they need when their parents die without an estate plan.

Consider also the lengthy process of probate. Probate is necessary in many cases to test the validity of a will and, when no will is present, distribute assets. What happens, however, when a party needs immediate access to cash or assets for bills and survival after a party’s death?

In many cases, they must do without necessary funds until probate is settled — but not when you plan beforehand. We can help you discover the right methods to allow your loved ones to access money quickly and without probate. Whatever your circumstances, our estate planning attorneys will work hard to set you up for the future.

Personal Injury

When someone harms you through negligence or unlawfulness, Ohio law allows you to seek justice through compensation. Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be entitled to pursue economic and non-economic damages to cover the following losses in Dublin:

Medical expenses and costs, including hospital and medication costs
Lost salary or wages and loss of future income and economic opportunity
Expenses for replacement services
Medical devices and equipment costs
Loss of enjoyment of life
Pain and suffering
Disfigurement and scarring
Permanent disability
Mental and emotional distress

Various everyday situations can lead to a personal injury, from driving a car on the U.S. 33 to shopping at The Shoppes at River Ridge.

At The Law Offices of Saia, Marrocco & Jensen Inc., we regularly handle personal injury situations such as:

Accidents with motor vehicles
Dog bites
Medical malpractice
Work injuries
Slip and fall accidents

If you’ve suffered an accident in Dublin, don’t delay in contacting our personal injury team. There is a short statute of limitations of two years for these cases in Ohio. After two years, the right to compensation disappears in most cases.

Liability

Many personal injury cases rest on negligence as the basis for liability. Negligence occurs when a person breaches a duty of care toward someone and causes them compensable injuries. Breaches of duty may include all manner of actions, depending on the circumstances of a case. Such action could include:

Speeding and other traffic violations in traffic negligence cases
Misdiagnosis and failure to treat in medical malpractice cases
Failure to remedy hazards on a property in slip and fall cases

Liability in personal injury cases can also come about through reckless and intentional actions, such as OVI and intentional violence.

At The Law Offices of Saia, Marrocco & Jensen Inc., we fight for victims of all types of Dublin personal injury accidents. Call for a free consultation with our seasoned team today.

Title IX

Title IX confers the right to be free from sexual harassment and discrimination at institutions of higher learning. Victims can report violations and have them investigated and punished by their institution. However, making a Title IX accusation does not prove that a Title IX violation has occurred.

In this nuanced area of law, people’s reputations and lives can be significantly impacted by overreaching Title IX university panels, dishonest or vengeful victims, and serious evidence problems.

At The Law Offices of Saia, Marrocco & Jensen Inc., we can vigorously defend your future against wrongful Title IX allegations.
