Monroe Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

There is no such thing as a DWI in Michigan, but only because the legal charge for drunk driving is Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). The name of the charge is utterly inconsequential to the serious legal jeopardy you can face if police arrest you for driving drunk.

At Law Office of Christina D. Hills, PLC, attorney Christina Hills has more than 30 years of experience in criminal defense of people in Monroe. When clients turn to us, she brings her considerable depth of knowledge and aggressive tactics to the table in your defense. Drunk driving charges can ruin your life if you do not have a defense ready to get to work right away.

What You Should Know About Michigan’s “Super Drunk Law”

In Michigan, when a person is arrested with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .17%, they are subject to the high BAC or “Super Drunk” penalties, which are penalties. For example, a first-time OWI charge for a BAC of under .17 BAC would face:

• Potential jailtime of up to six months
• Fines of less than $500
• Community service
• License suspension of 30 days

In a high BAC violation, the potential jail time is nearly doubled, the fine maximum is $700, and the license suspension is a year, with potential for some privileges returned after 45 days.

Whether it is a first offense OWI or a felony OWI, you have a lot at stake. Christina Hills understands how to build your case and how to attack the weaknesses of the case against you.
