In the state of Michigan, it is illegal to drive in any area that is open to the general public while intoxicated by alcohol. Intoxication does not mean your ability to drive is actually impaired, however, as anyone with a BAC over 0.08% can be convicted, and those who appear to be drunk may be charged with OWVI (Operating While Visibly Impaired) even with a BAC under the legal limit.
Drunk driving is a serious problem, and while there are many cases which are rightly brought against intoxicated drivers, our team has seen many false allegations brought against innocent people, and with such serious penalties on the line, it is essential that everyone receives the best possible defense throughout the criminal justice process.
