4. Dufon, Jeffrey: If you are facing drunk driving charges, it is important to consult an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The first time you are convicted of OWI, you will be required to pay $1,000 each year for two years. If you are convicted a second time, you will automatically lose your driver's license.
5. Vander Horst: A drunk driving charge or arrest can land you in jail, force you to pay excessive fines, or cause you to lose your license or, even, your job. A charge on your record will have a severely negative impact on your life and your future. Any charge requires the legal representation of an experienced DWI attorney to prevent unnecessary negative consequences. College towns are known for underage drinking. You just started out on your own. A friend hooks you up with a fake ID. And the college parties start rolling one after another. Maybe it was your first time drinking underage. Maybe it was simply your first time getting caught. Regardless, a conviction for Minor in Possession (MIP) can have a significant impact on your criminal record and your college career. Under Michigan underage drinking laws, college students or other minors can be charged - even if they were not drinking. Carrying alcohol in your car, holding a can of beer in your hand, or hosting a party where alcohol was being served can all constitute minor possession of alcohol. Penalties for Zero Tolerance Violations Michigan has Zero Tolerance for underage drinking. Therefore, law enforcement heavily patrols college towns and other areas to crack down on the offense. Individuals convicted for underage drinking or underage drinking and driving face serious penalties: * Minor in possession (MIP): fines (up to $100), parental notification (under 18), community service, substance abuse screening * Underage DUI/OWI: fines (up to $250), driver's license suspension (30-90 days), community service (up to 45 days), points on your driving record In addition, college students may face collateral consequences, such as loss of student loans, scholarships, housing penalties, and other consequences. Don't let a mistake in judgment have such a negative impact on your education and future. If you are facing criminal charges for minor in possession, underage drinking and driving, or possession of a fake ID, you can trust that we will do everything we can to mitigate the circumstances of your case. When possible, we will strive to get the charges dropped or reduced so that consequences are minimized.
6. Redmond & Redmond: If you are facing your first Drunk Driving conviction your license will be suspended for 180 days. After the first 30 days of the suspension you may be eligible for a restricted driver¥s license that will allow you to drive to and from work and school. If you are convicted of the less serious Impaired Driving charge your license will be suspended for 90 days and you may be eligible for a restricted driver¥s license immediately. However, if you have two alcohol related driving convictions within 7 years, your license will be revoked for a minimum of 12 months and during that time you will have no driving privileges.
7. Tibble Law Office: An experienced attorney can help advise you of your rights if you have been charged with a crime. An experienced attorney can help defend, inform, and guide you through the difficult and complex process of pretrial rights and procedures, such as the Michigan Datamaster test, the trial itself, and the process for license restoration. Michigan law defines three levels of offenses involving drunk driving: * First Offense: Your first offense could result in license sanctions, such as a six-month suspension, and up to ninety days in jail. * Second Offense: A second offense is committed when an individual accrues two drunk driving charges within a seven-year period. The second offense could result in a one-year jail sentence and an indefinite loss of your driver's license. * Third Offense: These charges can include out-of-state offenses as well. The third offense is considered a felony offense, and could result in a one-to-five-year state prison sentence and the permanent loss of your license. How do I get my driver's license back? The process is called license restoration. In order to get your driver's license reinstated, you will need to prove the following before the court: sobriety for a minimum sixth-month period, proof of membership in a recovery program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous; provide three individuals who can vouch for your sobriety; and demonstrate that you have received some level of alcohol abuse rehabilitation counseling.
