Criminal Law - DUI and Traffic
We defend individuals and businesses charged with all state and local criminal offenses. This includes the major traffic offenses of driving while intoxicated (DWI) (DUI) (OWI), reckless driving, speeding, driving while license suspended and operating without insurance. We can assure you that your driving privileges, your liberty and welfare are best placed with us when legal problems present themselves.
If you have been charged with any type of driving violation - from the least serious to the most serious - you need expert representation. An experienced attorney can help defend, inform and guide you through the difficult and complex process of pretrial rights and procedures, such as the Michigan Datamaster test, the trial itself and the process for license restoration. We help our clients successfully negotiate the criminal justice system and provide outstanding representation in all facets of the law.
The fact that criminal issues are supposed to be resolved quickly can sometimes work against you. If you delay in choosing your counsel, deadlines may come and go and decisions may be made for you as a result of your inattention. Call us today so that we can get to work preparing your case and fully protecting your rights.
Michigan law defines three levels of offenses involving drunk driving:
- First Offense: Your first offense could result in license sanctions, such as a six-month suspension, and up to ninety-three days in jail.
- Second Offense: A second offense is committed when an individual accrues two drunk driving charges within a seven-year period. The second offense could result in a one-year jail sentence and an indefinite loss of your driver's license.
- Third Offense: If you have received three Drunk Driving charges within a ten-year period, you have committed your third offense. These charges can include out-of-state offenses as well. The third offense is considered a felony offense and could result in a one-to-five-year jail sentence and the permanent loss of your license.
