What Are The Charges For A DUI In Michigan?
In Michigan, drunk driving charges are referred to as operating while intoxicated or an “OWI.” However, a DUI means the same thing under Michigan law. A DUI or OWI in Michigan is typically charged as a misdemeanor.
However, a first-time DUI offense can carry serious consequences that extend beyond the courtroom. Penalties may include fines, community service and even jail time. The ripple effect can impact your employment, finances and personal relationships.
Subsequent and multiple DUIs carry harsher punishments and can lead to years behind bars, expensive fines and a longer license suspension period. Facing a license revocation or other traffic interactions at the same time can compound the stress and uncertainty you may feel. Marshall understands these stakes and is ready to support you.
How To Fight DUI Charges
Fighting DUI charges in Michigan requires a nuanced understanding of the law and a strategic criminal defense. Common defenses may involve questioning the accuracy of breathalyzer tests or the legality of a traffic stop.
It is crucial to have an experienced criminal defense and DUI lawyer by your side. Marshall’s extensive experience and personal dedication to your freedom are invaluable assets in protecting your rights and future.
