Gilroy, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

In Michigan, there is a separate offense for a person under 21 who drives a vehicle with over .02 in their system. So answer is yes. Also, any person in Michigan who may have under a .08 can be subject to a charge of OWI, (operating while intoxicated) if their ability to drive is substantially and materially affected due to the use of alcohol. They can be charged with OWI (operating while impaired) if they are under .08 and their ability to drive is impaired due to alcohol.

It is almost guaranteed she faces DUI charges, possibly felony because of the property damage over $500. The only intelligent advice: hire an attorney now. The party thrower could be sued if the accident caused personal injury to someone. A little free advice: exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or anyone about the case except with and through an attorney. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. 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. If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing to present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does.
