Beat a DUI Charge in Michigan

If you have been pulled over for driving under the influence of alcohol in Michigan, you will not necessarily be convicted of drunk driving and forced to submit to penalties and restrictions on your freedom. Our lawyers understand the legal tactics that will be effective in fighting drunk driving charges. Our Michigan DUI defense attorneys will aggressively defend you in any stage of your case, and will utilize every possible strategy to have your charges dropped, dismissed, or reduced.

Beat DUI Charges in Michigan

If you are pulled over for drunk driving in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Detroit or anywhere else in the state, contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Police and prosecutors will be working to build a case against you, and have a heavy burden of proof in proving you were operating a vehicle while intoxicated. A talented DUI defense lawyer can help you protect your constitutional rights and uncover the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case that will give you an advantage in your case. Contact Grabel & Associates and let our criminal defense attorneys guide you through your OWI case.

Beat a DUI in Michigan With an Experienced Defense Lawyer

Our attorneys have the experience necessary to achieve an impressive result in your DUI case, and will not rest until you earn the outcome you want. We know that the field tests used to determine sobriety are unreliable, and that many people cannot be properly evaluated by these tests. We work to expose false breath test and blood test results, and will determine if police improperly administered the test or failed to follow proper procedure. The instruments used to determine blood alcohol content must be properly calibrated and operated, and can still malfunction without warning. Also, if you are not informed of your rights, or an officer violates your rights at any time, you could have your charges dropped.

We understand that every case is different, and will determine the best approach to take to beat your drunk driving charges. However, there are common weaknesses in DUI cases that can give you an edge over the prosecution. These common mistakes include:

• Anonymous false report of DUI
• Illegal stop of a person or vehicle
• Improperly conducted field sobriety testing
• Unlicensed or improperly trained breath test operator
• Improperly calibrated breath test equipment and breathalyzer machine malfunctions
• Faulty police station blood test or hospital blood test, or failure to account for post-driving alcohol absorption
• Misleading statements by police officers
• Contradictory arrest or booking room videos
• Jurisdictional issues
• False police testimony

Additionally, police must have probable cause to arrest you for drunk driving, and without specific reason for your arrest, you cannot be charged. Our drunk driving attorneys will carefully look at every detail of your case in order to determine if your arrest was lawful. Police must also prove you were operating a motor vehicle on public property, and that you were under the influence of alcohol while in control of the vehicle. Contact a lawyer now to begin looking into every aspect of your Michigan DUI case and fighting against criminal punishment.

Avoid Jail for DUI Charge in Michigan

According to the Michigan Penal Code, you could face up to 93 days in jail for your first DUI conviction, along with license suspension, points on your driver’s license, fines, and driver responsibility fees. You could also lose your vehicle or be forced to install an ignition interlock device. A second DUI misdemeanor conviction can result in additional jail time, fines, and a longer license suspension. If you are convicted of a third offense, you could face felony drunk driving charges and extremely serious criminal punishment. Grabel & Associates will help you fight against these damaging penalties and the harm a conviction could do to your reputation.
