Mahopac Falls, NY Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

DUI charges in Michigan can never be dropped or expunged. A case may be attacked with a Motion to Set Aside Conviction under very limited circumstances. The motion is so complicated that you would likely need the assistance of an attorney.

Whether the facts of your son's case are entrapment is something that should be discussed with his attorney. If yes, then proper motions should be filed. As for working out of town, your son should look at the terms and conditions of his bond. That may be what is preventing him from leaving town.

You do not want to plead guilty to a DUI. At the arraignment you want to plead not guilty and at that time the Judge will give you conditions of release and set a date for a pre-trial hearing generally about 4-5 weeks later. This will give you time to find an attorney and get details about the arrest, police report, BAC results and testing, field sobriety tests, and any other pertinent information. An attorney can review all the details of your case to see if there are any grounds for dismissal or whether there may be reason to believe you could win if it goes to trial. If not, then a plea negotiation may reduce the charge to a lesser offense. The fact you were not driving may help but if you were in physical control of the vehicle the interpretation is the same.
