A Michigan Drunk Driving Charge is Serious!
A Michigan drunk driving charge is a serious matter that has the potential to significantly impact a person's life. The consequences of a drunk driving conviction can be severe, including jail time, loss of driving privileges and car forfeiture, negative effects on professional and occupational licenses, steep fines and costs, and the potential cancelation of an automobile insurance policy. Probation, community service, and work programs may also be required.
Many attorneys profit by convincing people to plead guilty to the charge of "operating while visibly impaired" (OWVI) without considering potential defenses. This is unfortunate, as even the "less serious" charge of OWVI is still considered a drunk driving conviction and can have serious consequences. It's important for anyone facing a drunk driving charge to fully understand the potential consequences and to consider all options before making a decision.
