April 22, 2011 | Administrative License Suspension, OVI / DUI Penalties

The Judge said that he waived your reinstatement fee when he terminated the administrative license suspension (ALS), but the BMV still says that you have to pay it, what happened?

When you are convicted of a DUI first offense in six years and placed under a 6 month to 3 year suspension it will automatically terminate the administrative license suspension. It will also cancel the the required fee.

The fee for a DUI suspension; however, is also $475 if you were convicted on or after 9/30/08. The only time that waiving the ALS fee is a benefit is when we are able to beat the DUI or it is amended to something other than an OVI.

And remember, if you or a family member has been arrested for DUI in Columbus– give our office a call at 614-914-4822….24-hours a day, 7 days a week. Because now is the perfect time to put a team that includes a former police officer and two former prosecutors to work….for you.
