How will David G. Moore Law Firm attorneys approach my drunk driving defense?
We use a tested and proven 2-pronged approach, focusing on damage control and litigation. We'll explore whether there was probable cause for your arrest, if field sobriety assessments were performed properly if the breath testing machine was properly calibrated, and if all other procedures were closely adhered to.
I refused the breath test. What's next?
In Michigan, when you accept your driver's license, you are implying that you consent to blood alcohol testing whenever it’s requested by police. So, if you decline your breathalyzer test, your license will be automatically suspended.
What are the typical defenses used in drunk driving cases?
While defending you against your charges, our attorneys will focus on the conduct of the arresting officer, the breathalyzer equipment’s accuracy, and the precision of the arresting officer’s reading of your field sobriety test results.
Will a DUI conviction increase my insurance premiums?
That's usually the case, even after a first conviction. In some cases, auto insurance premiums can double, or even go higher than that, and not be reduced again for several years. That's why it's important to carefully consider whether or not to enter a guilty plea for an OWI/DUI charge.
What are the likely consequences of a drunk driving conviction?
If it's your first conviction, you don't have a previous record, and your blood alcohol level was less than 0.17, you could receive a sentence of up to 93 days in jail, up to a $500 fine, the loss of your driving privileges for up to 180 days, and up to 360 hours of community service.
