OWI Defense

Effective Michigan Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer

OWI defense - Driver's license reinstatement - Record expungement

If you have been charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI), driving while intoxicated (DWI) or another drunken driving charge, you are not alone. The OWI defense law firm of Amberg & Amberg, PLLC, helps hundreds of people every year who have been charged with driving while intoxicated on Michigan roads.

Because of the extremely low level of alcohol consumption necessary to put your blood over the 'legal limit,' the number of drunk driving charges has increased. Getting charged with OWI is serious, but it will help to keep in mind that facing the most serious penalties isn't the only possible outcome.

Contact us as soon as possible after you have been charged, whether you have submitted to blood alcohol testing or not. We may be able to help you get your OWI or DWI charges dismissed or reduced to a less serious offense that doesn't include jail time. We may be able to help restore your driver's license.

Don't waive your right to an attorney who will fight hard for you

If you have been arrested and charged for drunk driving, don't panic and talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. We have a reputation for using every legal motion and tactic possible to fight your charges. Our OWI/DWI/OUIL defense attorneys routinely come across instances where the breathalyzer results are highly inaccurate and improperly performed. If the police violate your constitutional rights or fail to follow specific requirements while processing the Datamaster results, your charges could be dismissed.

We investigate everything about your arrest and charges

The police can only stop your vehicle under certain circumstances. If they fail to follow the constitutionally mandated guidelines, your OWI case may get dismissed. We will subpoena the video tape of your traffic stop and arrest, to determine whether the police acted appropriately and advised you of your rights. Police field sobriety tests are notoriously subjective and inaccurate, both of which may help you at trial.

We challenge harsh judgments against underage drinkers

Driver or passenger, if you're under the legal drinking age and you are in a car pulled over by police, you can face serious minor in possession (MIP) charges in Michigan. Most lawyers don't know how to properly defend against this charge. We pride ourselves on tenacious defense of your rights all the way up to suing harsh judges who hand out unfair penalties that ruin promising futures.

An OWI conviction can have major consequences on your future

Contact us as soon as possible after you, or a young family member, has been charged with DWI, MIP or any drunken driving-related traffic offense. Since 1975, Amberg & Amberg has helped many of people throughout Oakland County who have been exactly in your shoes. We can help you.
