Biography

CINCINNATI, NORTHERN KENTUCKY, COLUMBUS, & DAYTON DUI DEFENSE

My name is Joe Suhre and I am committed to DUI defense. In fact, that's all I do.

I am a graduate of Xavier University where I received a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. I then attended the University of Cincinnati where I received my Juris Doctorate (law degree). I am licensed to practice in Ohio and the United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio. I am a former police officer and that gives me a definite advantage when I'm assisting a client with their DUI case. It's such an advantage that Cincy Magazine has named me the leading lawyer in the field of Cincinnati DUI defense every year since 2006. The Leading Lawyer Award includes prominent and powerful legal minds of the Greater Cincinnati Area. Hundreds of members from the Greater Cincinnati legal community nominate colleagues for this honor and nominees are judged by a jury of peers to ensure fairness and impartiality.

When you retain me for your Cincinnati DUI defense, you're getting the very best legal representation Cincinnati has to offer. Call me for your free consultation and let's find out what has to be done - (513) 333-0014.

Q. I got 2 DUI'S within 15 days of each other.. When court was all over I was charged with 2 DUI First
A: Having two DUI's pending at the same time could have resulted in a DUI 1st and a DUI 2nd if convicted of both.

In Ballinger v. Com., the Kentucky Supreme Court held that KRS 189A.010(5) does not require a "conviction to offense sequence" for enhancement. Ballinger held that any conviction, without respect to the date of the occurrence, can be used to enhance if the prior conviction existed before a plea on any pending DUI. This case overrules Com. v.
