Washtenaw County Multiple DWI Conviction Lawyer
Having multiple DWI/DUI/OWI charges on your record can turn your next drunk driving offense into a felony. Felony charges involve much higher penalties than misdemeanors, including larger fines and jail time. It is critical that you have an attorney with extensive experience resolving felony criminal matters. As a former prosecutor, I am familiar with the arguments the other side will bring against you. I have been practicing law for more than 20 years, and I know how to best present your case to the court.
If you have been convicted of multiple drunk driving offenses and are now charged with felony DUI/DWI, I can help you. Contact my Michigan law office by e-mail or call 734-274-6567 to speak with a criminal defense attorney. You may also call toll free at 888-769-0091. I take the time to hear your side of the story and explain your options to you.
Representation Through Felony DUI/DWI charges
There are many aggravating factors that raise the level of a DUI/DWI offense to a felony, including:
- Prior DUI convictions
- Children present in the vehicle
- Use of drugs
- Causing death or serious injury to others
A recent law in Michigan, known as Heidi's law, allows for drunk driving convictions to remain on your criminal record even after 10 years have passed. This law increases the chances for individuals to be charged with felonies. I can work with you to protect your rights and your driver's license.
Providing Effective Felony DUI Defense
There are many challenges we can bring against your felony DUI/DWI charge. I will investigate your stop to determine if the officer had probable cause to pull you over. I will also examine the Breathalyzer Data Master logs and determine if the police are properly maintaining the Breathalyzer device. It is also possible to challenge police reports that are too generic and not specifically targeted to a certain individual. If the arresting police officer uses the same language for all field sobriety test reports he or she drafts, I can challenge the results.
