Michigan OWI Defense Attorney

About Operating While Intoxicated Charges

In the state of Michigan, drinking and driving is against the law for the most part. If you get behind the wheel of a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above .08% or if you are clearly impaired by drugs or alcohol, you risk facing harsh consequences such as fines, imprisonment and the loss of your driving privileges. Law enforcement and a District Attorney must be able to prove that you were intoxicated while operating a vehicle in order to gain a conviction. They must have proof that your BAC was above the legal limit or must have proof that you had difficulty or failed to complete a field sobriety test.

However, not all sobriety tests are accurate. Results from a blood or breath test may be inaccurate due to a variety of reasons, including technical and environmental reasons. For example, a breathalyzer may be improperly calibrated to read a higher blood alcohol level or simply an environmental factor could have caused you to make driving errors. Despite the reason for your OWI charge or arrest, it is vitally important for you to contact a Michigan criminal defense lawyer from our office immediately.
