Our Firm Has Extensive Experience with DUI Cases in Northfield Township

The legal team from Geherin Law Group, PLLC, regularly represents drivers like you charged with impaired driving in Northfield Township. Under Michigan law, you may not operate a motor vehicle with a blood or breath alcohol content of 0.08 (or 0.02 for drivers under 21) or if you have detectable controlled substances in your system. You may also face prosecution for DUI with a BAC below the legal limit if you exhibit visible signs of alcohol or drug intoxication while driving. Michigan also imposes enhanced penalties for drivers caught with a BAC of 0.17 or higher.

Even a first-time offense can result in substantial penalties, such as:

  • A fine of up to $500
  • Up to 93 days in jail
  • Up to 360 hours of community service
  • A driver’s license suspension of up to 180 days
  • Six points on your driver’s license

A conviction with a high BAC (0.17 or higher) increases the maximum fines and jail time for a first-time conviction. A conviction will also require you to pay an annual $1,000 assessment for two years. Prior DUI convictions on your record or aggravating circumstances in your present case, such as having a passenger under 16 in your vehicle or causing an accident that severely injures or kills another person, may substantially increase the possible penalties for a conviction.

When you choose a lawyer from our firm to help you resolve a DUI charge in Northfield Township, you can expect vigorous legal advocacy focused on securing the best possible resolution to your case. Your DUI defense attorney will review the facts and evidence in your case to identify potential defenses and advise you on your available options.
