Michigan DUI Lawyer

State law prohibits anyone in Michigan from operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or above. Additionally, the state’s “zero-tolerance” policy forbids anyone under the age of 21 from operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of 0.02% and above. Though generally categorized under the umbrella term “DUI,” driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Michigan typically falls under one of two categories: operating while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (OWI) and operating while visibly impaired (OWVI).

Important Facts About DUI Charges in Michigan

Once you have been charged with driving under the influence, it is essential that you get a clear picture of what to expect and understand all the facts related to your case. In most cases, a higher blood alcohol concentration will result in a more severe punishment – but it can also vary depending on the circumstances of your case, as police may issue a severe OWVI charge simply by noticing your behavior and assuming that you must be drunk.

Your penalties for any DUI charges may include hundreds of dollars in fines, license revocation, and up to 1 year in jail. Additionally, prosecutors do not even need to take your BAC in order to charge you with OWVI. These charges are extremely serious and can threaten your rights and liberties, which is why it’s crucial that you contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible who can work to protect your best interests.
