Criminal Defense DUI Attorneys in Michigan
There is no denying that Michigan has harsh punishments for driving under the influence. Jail, probation and license suspension are all possible, not to mention skyrocketing insurance rates and possible job loss.
Retaining a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney who is committed to protecting your rights as soon as you are charged is essential.
You can find the strong advocate you require at Aldrich Legal Services, in Plymouth and Ann Arbor, MI. If you are facing operating while intoxicated (OWI) charges as an adult or as a minor, we can fight on your behalf quickly and effectively.
Our Attorneys Can Protect Your Rights
Our DUI lawyers know how the law works and can mount an effective defense to criminal charges. We have helped countless individuals facing misdemeanor and felony OWI charges, and we can do the same for you. We will thoroughly investigate the charges, including examining factors such as:
- Did your arresting officer have cause to stop your vehicle?
- Did the officer properly administer your breath or blood test?
- Was the breath or blood testing equipment working properly?
- Did the officer violate your constitutional rights?
By examining these and other factors, we can develop a defense strategy tailored to your situation and pursue a resolution that meets your needs. We will try to get a reduction or dismissal of your charges, or we will pursue an alternative treatment program instead of jail.
Inaccurate Breath or Blood Test? Let Us Defend You.
If the police stop you for suspected drunk driving here in Michigan, it is likely they will want to administer a breath test or a blood test. The results, however, are not always ironclad proof of anything.
At Aldrich Legal Services, our attorneys can protect your rights, including determining whether the results of any breath or blood tests are accurate. Before you plead guilty to anything, contact our law firm in Plymouth, Michigan, to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer about your case.
We Know How to Effectively Challenge Breath and Blood Tests
Unfortunately, in Michigan, failure to take a breath or blood test could result in license suspension for at least a year. A suspended license could mean loss of employment.
Put your trust in our attorneys, led by founder Brad Aldrich, who has more than 25 years of litigation and criminal defense experience in Southeast Michigan. Brad knows how to determine whether there were any test errors and if police respected your rights when conducting a breathalyzer test.
We can work with our own experts and conduct a thorough examination. With strong attention to detail, we will make sure officers followed the law when conducting, handling and processing your tests. If we find any problems, we may be able to have the results thrown out, which will benefit your case if you are facing OWI charges.
Contesting Traffic Violations for Michigan Drivers
You may not realize it, but the penalties for a traffic violation can be much more severe than you think. Increasing auto insurance rates, license suspension, steep fines and even jail are all potential outcomes. At Aldrich Legal Services, our attorneys have built a strong reputation defending the rights of drivers accused of committing traffic offenses.
Before you agree to pay a ticket or plea to any traffic violation, consider meeting with an attorney to evaluate your case. Contact our law firm in Plymouth, Michigan, if you are facing a traffic violation, such as:
