In a concerted effort to reduce drunk driving, Michigan has imposed strict laws against driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, including mandatory time in jail for some offenses. If you are convicted of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), the consequences can be severe; you may lose your driver’s license, pay heavy fines, have your vehicle impounded, and even receive a jail or prison sentence. OWI convictions remain on your permanent criminal record and may cause you to lose your job or hinder future employment opportunities. With such high stakes, it is crucial that you hire a defense attorney that fully understands the details of OWI defense.
Though they may seem straight-forward, OWI cases are incredibly technical. OWI lawyers need to understand the latest in breathalyzer technology, as well as rules of evidence regarding breath and blood testing. Not only does KBW Criminal Law’s owner, Kevin, understand these details, but he also has actual OWI trial experience. During his years as a prosecutor, Kevin handled countless OWI cases. He understands the nooks and crannies of OWI prosecution and how to advocate for clients charged with OWIs to get into sobriety courts, drug courts, or receive reduced plea offers. If your case results in a trial, Kevin has the background and understanding to push the prosecution to the fullest extent of their burden.
