Aleck & Jenkins
Drunk Driving Arrest
After getting arrested for drunk driving in
Michigan, you can do one of two things. You can get information
about what you are facing and hire a good attorney to protect your
rights or you can just go plead guilty and face whatever punishment
the Judge hands you.
Drunk driving is a Criminal Offense.
Unless it is your first arrest, jail is likely.
A person cannot afford to go in and just plead guilty to get it over
with. You need the help of skilled attorney who will minimize or
eliminate the impact on your life. A conviction can and does
adversely impact every aspect of your life. This need not happen.
Skilled professional attorneys like those of Aleck & Jenkins will
protect your rights and help you cope with a very difficult
situation.

Administrative penalties also apply when you refuse a breath test at
the jail. The law provides a one-year suspension for a first implied
consent refusal, and a two-year suspension for a second or
subsequent implied consent refusal within seven years.
Also, the new language in section 257.625(8) is essentially a
zero-tolerance to schedule one drugs and cocaine. There is no burden
on the prosecutors to prove "under the influence or impaired" from
the drug.
They only have to prove:
1) It is in the defendant's system
2) The Defendant was driving. |
