Navigating DUI Cases in Michigan

The abbreviation DUI is a convenient way to refer to every offense involving operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your ticket or court notice may contain another abbreviation such as:

• OWI .08 (operating while intoxicated)
• OWI High BAC .17 (Super DUI)
• OWVI (impaired driving)
• OWPD (operating with the presence of Schedule 1 drugs, cocaine, marijuana)

Michigan DUI Offenses & Penalties

All DUI offenses carry points, potential jail, fines, court costs, and license sanctions. In Michigan, offenses with maximum jail time of more than 1 year are felonies. A 1st or 2nd DUI is a misdemeanor, while a 3rd DUI is a felony.

Why Choose Attorney Christopher Brown?

As a former police officer, Attorney Brown knows how DUI arrests are handled from the inside. He understands police training, traffic stop procedures, and testing protocols—and he also knows where mistakes are made. This perspective allows him to challenge evidence such as:

• Lack of probable cause for a stop
• Faulty field sobriety tests
• Inconsistencies in police reports
• Mishandled or inaccurate blood/breath tests
• Videos that contradict officer claims
• Weak “per se” cases involving BAC results

Just because police say they have evidence does not mean it will hold up in court. The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and Attorney Brown will use his knowledge of law enforcement procedures to protect your rights.
