Best DUI Attorney Washtenaw County

A person arrested for DUI in Ann Arbor, for example, might receive an entirely different and more serious sentence than a person arrested in Chelsea. A person charged with OWI in Ypsilanti might receive a better plea offer than a person charged with the identical offense in Saline. And a person who wants a trial for a DUI case in Pittsfield Township might have better odds than a person in Dexter Township.

Why is this? Why do identical charges get treated differently in the same county? Why are there so many different police agencies, prosecutors and judges within the same relatively small county?

To get straight and honest answers to these questions, you need to consult the best DUI attorney in Washtenaw County you can find.

Honest. Reputable. Experienced.
