One of the main questions our clients have, when facing OWI/DUI charges, is whether they need a lawyer. In some cases, they may believe their only option is a plea bargain because they took a breath test that showed a result that was well above the legal limit. They may think there is no point in involving an attorney, as there is no way to win the case. This is simply untrue.
In many cases, our Michigan OWI lawyer is able to help our clients secure a positive result in the face of their OWI or DUI charges. We understand exactly how the criminal process works and what needs to be done to offer you the greatest opportunity not only at a positive case outcome in criminal court but also at your DMV hearing as well. An experienced Michigan criminal defense attorney can make a significant impact on the outcome of your case.
For example, you may have failed a breath test or field sobriety tests. This does not necessarily mean that you are guilty of DUI or that you should be convicted of this serious offense. Breathalyzer devices malfunction, may be improperly calibrated or may be used improperly. They may even react differently to different people. Field sobriety tests are even less reliable. Age, weight, a physical disability or even high-heeled shoes can affect a driver's ability to successfully perform a field sobriety test. Your DUI lawyer can use one or more of these potential issues to challenge the evidence that has been brought against you.
