Drunk Driving With a Child in the Vehicle – DUI Defense Lawyer MI

According to state law, a person is guilty of DUI/OWI if he or she drives a vehicle in any place open to the public with a BAC over 0.08%, or under the influence of liquor or another controlled substance. If there is a minor under the age of 16 in the vehicle, DUI child endangerment charges can result, which can lead to enhanced penalties more similar to repeat offense OWI charges.

If you are accused of DUI child endangerment, you will face jail time, fines, a criminal record, and license suspension or revocation, and could also have child protective services involved and trying to terminate your parental rights. Always speak with a lawyer before attempting to take action in your case.
