The Best DUI Lawyer in Columbus Ohio

I recently used Tim Huey's service to fight a DUI Charge. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. He eased my mind and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Upon arriving at his office for a free consultation, he generously provided an hour and an half of his time to explain th...e "basics." He was prepared with paperwork to inform me of the process. The paperwork provided general information as to what I could expect, what his office provides, what I need to provide to the office, and the general legal steps. I appreciate organization. His experience alloted me the luxury of feeling organized in an otherwise messy scenario. He did a good job protecting my interest. Tim Huey is a true professional.

"Tim Huey is the King of DWI in Ohio. Without question and without reservation, I would recommend Tim to any family member or loved one who was charge with a DWI, or any other crime for that matter, in Ohio. Not only is Tim a nationally respected lawyer and teacher, he is a wonderful and compassionate human being who puts his clients before himself.

He also is the "go to" guy in Ohio by attorneys who are looking for the best representation."

"Tim is no doubt one of the finest and most knowledgeable DUI / OVI attorneys in Columbus. I am proud to call him a friend and colleague. Tim has always been there for me when I have questions regarding complex legal issues and he is always eager to assist colleagues and younger attorneys because he understands the value of good legal defense in the DUI / OVI area. He loves to handle jury trials and he often goes out of his way, without much pay, to gain the experience of going to trial and assisting others with trials. He is a value and asset to the legal community."

"For the two decades that I have know Tim Huey, he has been an outspoken advocate of JUSTICE for accused drinking drivers. He has studied and challenged every aspect of DUI-OMVI-DWI prosecutions in Ohio, including field sobriety testing and breath testing. If you want a FIGHTER in your corner, the Tim is your GUY.."

"Timothy is an excellent lawyer and is dedicated to defending those accussed of DUI offenses. His dedication is shown in the training he does to learn all he can about this area of criminal defense. Timothy attended the Forensic Gas Chromatography training course in Chicago, IL this April. This is a course put on for elite DUI lawyers from across the country and very few have taken this course. Timothy now knows more about chromatography than the people who run the tests. This is yet another example of why Timothy is considered one of the best DUI lawyers in the nation. If you are arrested for DUI in the areas Mark practices in you should hire this man."

"Tim is indisputably one of the finest OVI attorneys in the country. He is uniquely talented in the ability to identify legal challenges and arguments that, frankly, the vast majority of other attorneys cannot see or articulate. Tim’s expertise is consistently called upon throughout Ohio, and his influence is so great it has altered OVI law and policy throughout the state. He is an indispensable leader of the Ohio defense bar. Those hiring him for their OVI case can be confident that they are getting the finest representation in Ohio."

I have had the pleasure of conducting an OVI Jury Trial as co-counsel and was astonished by his knowledge and they way he delivered that knowledge to everyone in the courtroom, especially the Jury. He cares deeply for the rights of those accused with OVI, so much so that he chooses to spend significant time guiding and teaching other Ohio OVI lawyers who aspire to his top notch level of practice, like myself. Tim will get you the best possible result in your OVI matter."
