Kalamazoo DUI Defense Attorney

Arrested for Drunk Driving? Get Quality Representation as Soon as Possible

Many people with a driving under the influence (DUI) offense, whether for alcohol, marijuana, or drug use, have never had prior contact with the law. This lack of familiarity with the criminal justice system can leave people unsettled and unsure about what they need to do for their case. Our reputable drunk driving attorneys can provide you with the necessary guidance to assist you in the process and the defense you need to prevail in your DUI case.

Drugged Driving – Impaired Driving

Drivers with any amount of a Schedule 1 controlled substance and/or cocaine are subject to the same fines and penalties as drunk drivers, even if they show no signs of impairment. The only exception applies to a person driving with marijuana in his or her system. Under the law, an officer must show they are impaired due to that marijuana.

Drunk Driving (DUI/OWI)

It is a crime for a driver to have a bodily alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or greater if over age 21 or .02 or greater if under 21. In addition, Michigan has a high-BAC law with enhanced penalties for anyone caught driving with a BAC of .17 or higher. However, drivers can be arrested at any BAC level if they exhibit signs of impairment while operating a motor vehicle.

Can You Afford A DUI Offense Conviction?

Having a DUI conviction has several negative consequences. It is essential that you work with specialized DUI attorneys who understand the urgency of your situation and the necessary steps to help you secure a resolution, allowing you to move on with your life.

In addition, our attorneys for DUI offenses are skilled with assisting people in preserving their commercial driver’s license privileges (CDLs) and defending against potential consequences to their immigration status.

Have You Been Charged in a Fatal DUI Case?

If you are facing charges of vehicular homicide for a fatality that occurred while driving under the influence of marijuana, drugs, or alcohol, you need to secure the strongest available defense. People who are accused of a DUI causing death or serious injury often face the stiffest penalties. This is especially the case for those with a record of previous drunk driving charges, but it may also apply to first-time offenders. Our dedicated and skilled drunk driving attorneys in Kalamazoo are knowledgeable about DUI laws and can guide you through the intricate steps of your case.
