OWI Defense Attorney In Michigan
OWI Allegations and What They Can Mean for You
An arrest for Operating While Intoxicated can change the course of your life in a matter of moments. In Michigan, OWI charges are taken seriously by courts and prosecutors, even when there is no accident or prior criminal history. The penalties can extend far beyond the courtroom, affecting your ability to drive, maintain employment, and move forward without ongoing legal obstacles.
Michigan law recognizes several OWI-related offenses, including impaired driving, High BAC allegations, and repeat offenses. Each carries its own legal standards and potential penalties. In addition to criminal court proceedings, individuals often face immediate administrative actions related to their driver’s license, making it difficult to commute to work or meet family responsibilities. Understanding the scope of these consequences is a critical first step in responding to an OWI charge.
