I Know the DUI Laws in Michigan and Ohio
As an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer, I have a comprehensive understanding of the DUI laws in Ohio and Michigan. My in-depth knowledge enables me to help clients understand what is at stake when they are arrested for drinking and driving, and provide informative advice tailored to their situation.
- Ohio Drunk Driving Laws: If you are pulled over for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Ohio, you could be charged with OVI (Operating a Vehicle Intoxicated). If convicted for drunk driving/OVI, you could face up to six months in jail, up to three years' license suspension, up to a $1,000 fine, and a driver's license reinstatement of $450. These penalties are increased with each repeat drunk driving offense and with offenses involving a high BAC (.17 percent or higher).
- Michigan Drunk Driving Laws: If you are pulled over for drunk driving in Michigan, you will be charged with OWI (Operating While Intoxicated). Additionally, Michigan has established a law that allows the state to charge you with OWVI (Operating While Visibly Impaired) if any amount of alcohol or illegal drugs is detected in your system. If convicted for drunk driving/OWI, you could face up to 93 days in jail, up to six months license suspension, up to a $500 fine, and a $1,000 driver responsibility fee that must be paid every year for two years. These penalties increase with each repeat offense.
The stakes are high in any DUI case — even if this is your first offense. However, there are effective DUI defense strategies in any case. Therefore, it is important to discuss your options with an experienced criminal defense lawyer before talking to the police or accepting any plea arrangements.
