Being a drunken passenger in a vehicle stopped by the police isn't much fun, but getting stopped as a drunk driver is far worse. In addition to hefty fines, losing your driver's license and possible jail time, a DUI arrest on can wreak havoc on your insurance premiums, driving record and your reputation. If your job involves driving, a conviction for drunk driving can interfere with you employment.

DUI / DWI Convictions and Penalties

Whether you are caught driving a car, boat, ATV or other motor vehicle while intoxicated, contacting a skilled DUI attorney at our firm immediately can make the difference in your defense. Prior arrests for drunk driving, your driving record and other factors can affect the DUI penalty you may be facing. In Michigan, a third DUI offence is a felony conviction punishable by up to 5 years in jail and a fine up to $5,000. In Wayne County, a first time DUI offender may avoid jail time or other consequences of a DUI / DWI conviction through community service and counseling for alcohol abuse. We will assess your individual situation and develop the proper strategy for handling your case.

Challenging Your DUI / DWI Arrest

Because you are charged with DUI doesn't always mean you are guilty of driving drunk. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, we will question the evidence against you. Our DUI lawyers will investigate whether the police had reasonable cause to stop you and if they followed proper procedures in administering field sobriety tests. If a breathalyzer was involved, we will determine if the device was working and used correctly. Factors such as proper calibration, strength and timing of breathe samples, and maintenance issues can affect a blood alcohol reading and the accuracy of your test.

Whatever drunk driving charges you face, our DUI / DWI defense lawyers can help you keep a bad situation from becoming worse. We will thoroughly examine your situation, keep you informed on our progress, and work with you and the courts to resolve your legal concerns and protect your driving privileges.
