DUI / DWI / OWI Defense
In Michigan, drunk driving is charged as Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). The consequences are severe — but a charge is not a conviction. The right defense can change everything.

Michigan law prohibits operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or higher (0.17% for super drunk driving). Penalties for a first OWI include up to 93 days in jail, fines up to $500, 6-month license suspension, and possible ignition interlock. Repeat offenses carry significantly harsher consequences.
Building Your Defense
An effective OWI defense examines every detail: was the traffic stop lawful? Was the field sobriety test administered correctly? Was the breathalyzer properly calibrated and maintained? Was the blood draw procedure followed exactly? Any procedural error can be grounds for suppression or dismissal.

An OWI conviction affects your driving record, employment background checks, professional licenses, and insurance rates for years. We work aggressively to reduce charges, negotiate alternatives like sobriety courts, or fight for a full dismissal wherever possible.
