Jon J. Saia has over 23 years of experience in defending OVI cases. The focus of his practice is OVI defense. Beyond representing individuals charged with OVI, he also provides consultation and expert testimony on the issue of field sobriety testing and is often consulted by colleagues with regard to breath testing issues.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) have certified Mr. Saia as an Instructor in DUI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. In addition, the National Patent Analytical Systems, Inc. (the manufacturer of the BAC Datamaster) has certified Mr. Saia in the operation, diagnostic verification and calibration of the BAC Datamaster Breath Alcohol Testing Instrument, the most commonly used breath testing instrument in Ohio.

Recently, Mr. Saia completed training in the operation of the Intoxilyzer 8000 Breath Alcohol Testing Instrument. With blood alcohol testing becoming more prevalent in Ohio, Mr. Saia completed a course in Gas Chromatography and Metrology in order to better defend his clients. Mr. Saia has also completed the NHTSA and IACP sponsored Drug Evaluation and Classification Program in light of Ohio's relatively new Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) laws.

In addition to speaking at seminars, Mr. Saia participates in approximately 40 hours per year of continuing legal education, both locally and nationally, regarding DUI defense.
