What Are the Penalties for a 2nd DUI in Ohio?
In Ohio, if you are convicted of a second DUI offense in 6 years, you face enhanced penalties. Getting a second DUI in 6 years means that you face the following:
- 10 or 20 days in jail
- possibility of getting a sentence of up to 6 months in jail
- required to have an alcohol/drug assessment
- can be required to receive treatment for alcohol or drug dependency
You will also be required to have “party plates” and an interlock device put on your car. Further, your car could be immobilized for 90 days.
Driving Privileges After a Second DUI in Ohio
Will I be eligible for driving privileges after refusing a breath test for a second DUI? A second DUI within 5 years carries a 45-day waiting period before you can apply for driving privileges. Your attorney, however, can file a Motion for Driving Privileges with the court asking for limited driving privileges for:
- Work
- School
- Any necessary medical appointments

Understanding the Penalties for Multiple DUI Offenses in Cleveland
You need to take every arrest seriously and hire a Cleveland multiple DUI attorney to help minimize any sentence. Although an attorney may be able to get you the three-day driving class and no jail time after your first conviction, it takes much more work and knowledge to minimize the consequences if you are arrested for additional DUIs.
- If you are arrested for your second DUI within 6 years, you are facing a minimum of 20 days in jail.
- With a third arrest in 6 years, you are staring down a minimum of 60 days in jail.
- For your fifth DUI within the last 20 years, you could go to prison without proper representation.

Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls (I had attorneys before who never call you back), answered my questions and never ignored my calls. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to her.

Catherine Meehan did an amazing job. Very responsive, friendly, and obviously very good with words. She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo. For that I can't ever repay the favor. Much appreciated hope I never need your assistance again but if so I'll definitely give you a call. Thank you again.

Joe helped my brother beat a serious RICO charge. He is simply the best criminal defense lawyer out there, and provides a clear-cut path to victory. I am extremely impressed and thankful for the hard work and dedication the team at Patituce & Associates put in on this case. It feels great to come out on the winning side, and not have to sweat a thing during the whole process. I highly recommend hiring Joe and his expert staff if you ever find yourself in any legal trouble. Thank you Joe!
