At Sheppard Law Offices, we provide criminal defense for a wide range of cases in central Ohio courts, as well as drunk-driving and traffic violations.

One particular industry that our Criminal Defense Attorney Zach Haughawout focuses on that many other law firms do not is the transportation industry.  Many professional drivers get ticketed on the major highways (I-71, I-70, and I-270) crossing through central Ohio.  Businesses throughout Ohio and other states employ truck drivers and assume the responsibility of these tickets.  Independent trucking contractors must bear this financial burden alone.  We are here to help those truckers and businesses who employ truckers keep and maintain their commercial driver licenses. 

Whether you are a Columbus taxi driver or an interstate truck driver just passing through Ohio, if you are pulled over for a traffic violation, your commercial driver's license (CDL) or carrier license (and your livelihood) could be at stake.

We represent drivers charged with:

• Drunk driving: Driving While Impaired (DWI) or Operating a Vehicle under the Influence (OVI)
• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Driving on a suspended license
• Driving on a revoked license
• Driving without insurance
• Seat belt violations
• Failure to pay fines
• Failure to stop for a police officer
• Failure to appear in court
• Outstanding traffic warrants from failure to pay tickets

For interstate truckers with carrier licenses, it is more than inconvenient to get ticketed while traveling across country.  Ignore that ticket and you could be facing a bench warrant for your arrest.  On the other hand, if you want to fight the ticket, you have to come back to Ohio, right? Not necessarily.

If you are from out of state and received a traffic citation in Ohio, it may not be necessary for you to come back to Ohio at all to fight it.  At Sheppard Law Offices, we work with many out-of-town drivers to help resolve traffic violations.  If it is necessary for you to come back for a hearing, we will have every detail in order to make the process as quick and painless as possible.
