Michigan’s DUI / OWI accident defense, 248 Lawyers P.C.
A DUI and OWI in Michigan have serious penalties. If you’re in an accident it’s often provable that you were, in fact, not drunk. You’ll need an attorney however.
Laws against drunk driving keep getting tougher. Mothers Against Drunk Driving and other powerful lobbying groups pressure the state lawmakers to do this. No lawmaker wants to be "the guy who is soft on drunk driving." Police and prosecutors are specially trained in how to find and try a DUI case. Police officers even receive special training on how to sound convincing when testifying in front of a jury.
Even worse, many innocent people are convicted of drunk driving based on a flawed breathalyzer test, or an unchallenged/unconstitutional stop.
If you have been charged with Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), Operating Under the Influence of Liquor, Drugs or Narcotics, (OUIL, OUID, OUIN), or any other drunk driving crime, you need a DUI lawyer in your corner. In most cases drunk driving is a serious misdemeanor and carries substantial penalties. These penalties include jail time and losing your ability to drive legally.
At 248 Lawyers P.C., we can prove the innocence of our clients who are falsely charged with drunk driving through our aggressive approach. First we get a copy of the police report and all videos related to the DUI or OWI case. Using these we file motions to show that the police officer who falsely arrested our client for drunk driving has:
- Violated the client's constitutional rights.
- Improperly performed the field sobriety test.
- Improperly administered the preliminary breath test.
- Improperly administered the breath test back at the station.
Drugs and your Driver's License
Operating your motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs (OUID, OUIN) carries the same penalties as drunk driving. However, as the law now stands, if you have ANY trace amount of ANY illegal drug or controlled substance without a valid prescription you can be charged with OUID or OUIN. You'll need a successful and proven trial lawyer to help prove your innocence in these cases. We can prove, in most cases, that the trace elements of drugs in a person's system did not impair their ability to operate a motor vehicle.
