Bloomfield Township OWI Lawyer
If you’ve been pulled over under suspicion of driving under the influence, the officer who pulled you over may give you a sobriety test. If you are then placed under arrest, you can be taken to the police station and asked to submit to a chemical test; however, the police officers must follow very specific procedures during each of these steps. If you are ultimately charged with a DUI or OWI offense, you will then receive a court date and be given an opportunity to respond to the charges.
At each of these stages, having an experienced Bloomfield Township OWI lawyer by your side is essential for ensuring that your rights are protected. Your attorney can make the difference between a charge that remains on your record and results in severe penalties or successfully advocating for a lesser charge and potentially avoiding driver’s license suspension.

How a Bloomfield Township OWI Lawyer Can Help in Your Case
It is possible to successfully defend against a charge of driving under the influence (DUI) or operating while intoxicated (OWI), but it takes skill and a deep understanding of Michigan laws. A knowledgeable Bloomfield Township OWI lawyer will examine everything that happened during your arrest and help you gather evidence to support your case. For example, your attorney can help verify whether or not police officers violated your rights during your arrest or if evidence was handled improperly. If it is your first offense, your attorney may be able to successfully argue for the charges to be reduced or even dropped.
Your attorney will also advise you on whether they believe you should plead guilty or not guilty and, if necessary, represent you at trial. If you are convicted, your lawyer will also help to negotiate fair penalties for you, which will depend upon the specifics of your case.
