Manistee, MI Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Conspirators and accessories get the same sentence as the prime defendants. When questioned, arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression, search and seizure, or other motions, or for trial. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

The BAC is required for a DUI, but not required for OWVI. It may depend on what the charge is. Also, just because it's not on the ticket, doesn't mean it isn't elsewhere in the police report. Have an experienced DUI attorney review the file to ascertain the strength or weakness of the case and to search for any errors that could get the charges reduced or dismissed.
