Representation for DUI Charges in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, MI

Are you facing charges for driving under the influence in Michigan? A conviction on drunk driving or OWI charges has serious consequences, from losing your license to serving jail time. Beyond the potential criminal penalties, you face collateral consequences such as increased auto insurance premiums and damage to your personal reputation.

Exposing the Holes in the Prosecution's Case

Remember, just because you have been charged with drunk driving or OWI doesn't mean you are guilty. Mistakes do happen. Examples include improper traffic stops, failure by the police to use proper arrest procedures, a faulty field sobriety test (FST) and a faulty blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test.

If there are holes in the state's case against you, we will work to expose them and use those mistakes in your defense. Remember, you do not have to take a personal breath test (PBT) or comply with any other request for a roadside sobriety test. Officers must keep their DataMaster machines up-to-date or breath results can be thrown out and charges can be dismissed.

Michigan OWI and OWVI Defense

Operating a vehicle while intoxicated means that you were unable to safely operate the vehicle due to a high level of drugs or alcohol in your system. It is imperative that you hire an experienced Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids DUI attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights. Penalties for first offenses can include up to 93 days in jail, significant fines, installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle and more. Penalties increase exponentially on multiple offenses.

You do not have to fail a blood test or a field sobriety test in order to be arrested for operating a vehicle while visually impaired. This determination is at the discretion of the arresting officer, but the penalties can be just as severe as an OWI conviction. You can rely on our Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids DUI lawyers to get to the truth behind your arrest and to protect your rights throughout the entire process.

Understanding the Consequences of a DUI Conviction

Being charged with a DUI can have serious consequences that can impact your life in various ways. It is important to understand the potential repercussions of a DUI conviction, so you can make informed decisions about your defense strategy. Our experienced Kalamazoo DUI attorneys are here to guide you through the legal process and help you minimize the negative consequences.

Here are some potential consequences of a DUI conviction:

  • License Suspension: A DUI conviction can result in the suspension of your driver's license, making it difficult to commute to work, run errands, or fulfill other daily responsibilities.
  • Financial Penalties: DUI convictions often come with hefty fines, court costs, and fees. These financial obligations can add up quickly and put a strain on your finances.
  • Ignition Interlock Device: In some cases, a DUI conviction may require you to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. This device measures your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) before allowing you to start the car.
  • Probation: A DUI conviction may result in probation, which can include regular check-ins with a probation officer, mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs, and other restrictions on your daily activities.
  • Increased Insurance Rates: A DUI conviction can lead to a significant increase in your auto insurance rates. This can make it more challenging to afford coverage and may even result in your insurance company dropping you as a customer.
  • Criminal Record: A DUI conviction will become a permanent part of your criminal record, which can have long-term implications for employment opportunities, housing applications, and other aspects of your life.

By understanding the potential consequences of a DUI conviction, you can take proactive steps to protect your rights and build a strong defense.
