The single most important issue when facing a Michigan OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) charge is getting the best possible result. This means avoiding or minimizing as many of the legal penalties and other negative consequences as possible. As Michigan DUI lawyers, that’s exactly what my team and I do for our clients.<\/p>\n
It really all comes down to this:<\/p>\n
SUCCESS IN A DUI CASE IS BEST MEASURED BY WHAT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO YOU<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
This is the gold standard for any person facing a drunk driving charge, and for every lawyer who handles DUI cases. This truth is so simple that it\u2019s easy to overlook. This is especially true in the online marketplace of lawyers trying to sell their services with ever-more competitive messaging.<\/p>\n
SUCCESS IS EARNED<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
The first thing my team and I do in every DUI case we take is look for a way out. Everyone wants to \u201cbeat\u201d his or her DUI charge and have the whole thing just go away. The undeniable reality, however, is that the majority of Michigan DUI charges (more than 9 out of 10) do NOT get tossed out of court. This number is consistent from year-to-year.<\/p>\n
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME<\/u><\/span>?<\/strong><\/p>\n
In any case that can\u2019t be \u201cbeat,\u201d it is important to get a plea-bargain.<\/p>\n
REAL SUCCESS MEANS THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Consider the following example of how a typical plea bargain works in the DUI world:<\/p>\n
<SOME OUTCOMES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d she thinks, consoling herself, \u201cat least I didn\u2019t go to jail.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
WE CAN DO BETTER<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Next, consider the hypothetical case of Lucky Larry, who also got a plea-bargain to Impaired Driving (OWVI) after hiring our firm:<\/p>\n
We really stepped up when the time came for Larry to be sentenced by the Judge. As a result, he was only ordered to complete a 9-month term of non-reporting probation. The only condition was that he must not get in any further legal trouble during that time.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Brenda has to test all the time, go to AA, attend counseling, and can\u2019t leave the state unless it\u2019s for work AND gets permission first. By contrast, Larry can basically do whatever he wants.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Larry (who does seem rather “lucky,” at least when compared to \u201cBad Luck Brenda\u201d) doesn\u2019t have to report to anyone. He doesn\u2019t have to test in any way, doesn\u2019t have to go to AA or attend any classes or counseling. He can go wherever he wants, whenever he wants, and pretty much do whatever he want. At least as long as he doesn\u2019t get arrested for anything during the next 9 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Who in the world wouldn\u2019t prefer Larry\u2019s outcome rather than Brenda\u2019s?<\/p>\n
OUR FIRM WILL GET THE BEST RESULT FOR YOU<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
If you\u2019re facing a DUI, consequences like those mentioned above are what\u2019s really at issue. The job for my team and I is to help you avoid and\/or minimize them. The easier we can make it for someone, the better for him or her.<\/p>\n
DUI cases are complex, and each one has a lot of moving pieces. These include the underlying facts and the background of the person arrested, including his or her prior record. All of these things must be taken into account in order to properly defend a DUI charge. No matter what, a good outcome in a DUI case is always the direct result of good legal work.<\/p>\n
Thus, we come back to the simple simple truth we noted at the outset:\u00a0Success in a DUI case is best measured by what does NOT happen to you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Of course, what matters most is how intact you make it out of a DUI charge. My team and never lose sight of that. We will always do what\u2019s necessary to produce the best result possible for each and every one of our clients.<\/p>\n
No lawyer can do more, and we will never do less.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
