A charge of driving under the influence in any state is a serious offence, however many people do consider it to be a minor offence with only a minimal penalty. If you are charged with DUI then you should seek the services of a qualified Michigan DUI lawyer as soon as possible to represent you.
You do have the option to represent yourself, however DUI cases are complex and rely on technical scientific and medical evidence gathered at the time of your arrest. This evidence needs to be understood if you are to present a defense which can interpret the results in another way. A Michigan DUI lawyer will have the experience to interpret this evidence and to present a far better defense than you could for yourself.
If this is a first time offence under DUI laws then you will likely face a fine and driving ban. If you have previous convictions, which can be in any state, then the consequences will be more severe and penalties harsher. Your license will be revoked at the time of arrest and you will have to reapply for it should you be later acquitted. Penalties can become more severe and the charges escalated to a felony should you cause serious injury or death by driving under the influence.
