How to handle a traffic stop

Michigan's blood alcohol content (BAC) limit of .08 means that drivers who are not impaired can still be arrested for an OWI / DUI. Police can administer BAC tests to measure your blood alcohol level and arrest you if you are at or over the limit—even if you are not impaired according to other field sobriety tests. While our lawyers suggest that individuals who are stopped on suspicion of DUI deal with the police respectfully, we also urge people to sign nothing and make no statements that could prejudice their cases. We also recommend that people contact an experienced DUI / OWI attorney immediately after an arrest to protect your rights.

Consequences of a DWU / OWI conviction

The penalties for an OWI conviction can be severe. The conviction could follow you for life. If you are convicted again within ten years after the initial conviction, that first conviction will be used to determine the penalty for the second. In addition to points, increased insurance rates, loss of license, and jail time, you may face large fines, required community service, and an interlock device on your car. Your car can even be seized. A third conviction within ten years can be charged as a felony, with the resulting more severe penalties, including jail time.
