Second OWVI Charge Misdemeanor Defense Lawyer in MI

Even though the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is 0.08%, OWVI charges result when police observe an impaired driver who doesn’t have an illegal blood alcohol content. Although BAC still plays a factor and a borderline illegal BAC makes conviction more likely, OWVI cases rely heavily on police accounts and sobriety tests in order to determine the driver’s level of intoxication.

Unfortunately, wrongful conviction is very possible in OWVI cases. While a driver may appear to be impaired to a police officer, numerous factors can play into traffic violations, failing field sobriety tests, and other actions that can make a person appear intoxicated. Vehicle problems, health issues, poor road conditions, weather, and other details need to be considered in OWVI cases, and our lawyers will bring every important detail of your case to light.
