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.

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, including jail time and losing your ability to drive legally.

At 248 Lawyers P.C., we can prove the innocence of our drunk driving accident clients 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 arrested our client for having drunk driving accident:

Violated the client's constitutional rights
Improperly performed the field sobriety tests
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 need a successful and proven trial lawyer to help prove your innocence in these cases. We can prove, in most cases, the trace elements of drugs in a person's system did not impair their ability to operate a motor vehicle, a necessary element for the prosecutor to prove.
