Central Lake, MI DUI and OWI Law Firms & Lawyers

DUIs are really too complex to try it by yourself. The stakes are very high because not only do you risk probation, possible jail, fines, costs, ignition interlock, vehicle immobilization, but higher insurance premiums, license points, and driver's responsibility fees. In order to have a chance at all you need an experienced DUI attorney to carefully evaluate every inch of your case including the police reports, cruiser cam videos, calibration and maintenance records of the breath machines and certifications of the operator, among other things. There may be ways to challenge the stop or invalidate the chemical test results or the field sobriety tests. A good DUI attorney will more than pay for himself in what he can save you.

No. You are not liable for anything your boyfriend did. The other driver can not sue you. If your vehicle was not insured at the time of the accident, the police could give you a ticket for failing to insure the vehicle and for allowing someone else to drive an uninsured vehicle.

Usually on DUI cases, like most misdemeanors, it will state on your ticket that you have a certain time period to appear in court and be arraigned. Usually it is within 10 days or so. If you do not, a bench warrant could be issued and that may be the case with you. Check with the court to see what the status is.
