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.

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.
