Intoxicated Driving (OWI)
The law in Michigan is very serious about drinking and driving, or what is referred to “operating while intoxicated” (OWI). However, rarely are these types of cases cut and dry – there are often circumstances that disprove or at the very least call in to question whether you were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is important to understand the law and to hire experienced counsel to ensure that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
Juvenile Delinquency
When a minor is charged with a crime, they face very serious consequences that can leave negative consequences at such a crucial time in their life. The state of Michigan understands that minors are especially vulnerable and the law affords several diversionary programs that seek to rehabilitate minors and avoid jail time or a permanent criminal record. You need an experienced attorney like me who can fight for your minor to avoid jail time and a permanent criminal record. The sooner you contact me, the sooner we can discuss all of the options available for your minor to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
Drug Charges
Drug charges are among the harshest penalties under Michigan law, and it is important to set up an aggressive defense when charged with a crime. A conviction for a Michigan drug offense can result in many negative long-term consequences for your life.
Traffic Violations
Traffic violations can occur intentionally or unintentionally, but either way – the consequences are serious and can have negative affects on your ability to drive.
SPEEDING – Speeding tickets, and resulting penalties, often depend on the speed you were traveling and the county in which you were pulled over. In any case, you should expect fines, potentially points, and an increase in insurance rates.
DRIVING WITH SUSPENDED/REVOKED LICENSE – Driving with a suspended or revoked license violate the same law in Michigan. The consequences reach beyond just your ability to drive, and it is important to contact an attorney to ensure your rights (and driving record) is protected.
RECKLESS DRIVING – A subjective charge that is reliant upon police observation. If you are found to be intentionally driving in a dangerous or risky manner, you may be subjected to a misdemeanor charge and serious consequences.
