Menominee, MI DUI and OWI Law Firms & Lawyers

You don't have to tell the officer anything. You can refuse the portable breath test (the small hand held device used in the field). You can also refuse the breath test at the station, HOWEVER, if you do refuse that breath test, the Department of Licensing WILL revoke your license for a minimum of one year, even if you were ultimately found "not guilty" of the DUI. Also, your refusal of that test can be used as evidence against you in a trial. If you have a DUI, you should have an attorney. These are complex cases and the sakes are high.

I have no idea what you are asking. If you have a warrant for failure to appear on a scheduled court date or a warrant for any reason, you must appear to have to warrant recalled. However, you should have a lawyer with you when you appear to surrender yourself. If I have missed interpreted your question I apologize but without knowing more details, there is no way to understand your question from the amount of information provided.

Fleeing the scene has many different offenses. You can lose your license depending on what degree it is. Leaving the scene of a property accident does not make you lose license. You should have had a lawyer so they could try to deal one of the charges out, perhaps the fleeing the scene. An impaired driving will give you 4 points and you get a restricted license for 3 months. Perhaps probation, depending on court/judge. An attorney may be able to reduce the charge to reckless since you were a .08; however although it is not a drunk driving offense, it will be marked with a 3x which will mean that drinking was involved. You would lose your license completely for 90 days, which is why some of my clients prefer the impaired over a reckless, if they really have to drive for 3 months. A straight OWI gives you 6 points and no license for one month and then a restricted for 5 months again allowing you to drive to and from work and to probation, counseling, treatment, if you are on probation.
