Don't hire another attorney and simply plead guilty.

Don't hire another lawyer when that person's best plan is to plead you guilty. If the "other guy" is not ordering police reports, demanding police videos, and preparing motions on your case, you are being set up for a plea. Don't even consider a guilty plea until you've spoken to an attorney at the Maze Legal Group. Although our offices are located just outside Detroit in Livonia, Michigan, we regularly represent clients throughout Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw and Livingston county. We frequently represent clients across Michigan, so don't be afraid to call.

Put our knowledge and experience to work for you!

All lawyers are not equal, and this is especially true when it comes to a DUI charge. You need an attorney who knows and understands field sobriety tests, how breath testing machines work and their weaknesses, and the science of blood analysis in drunk driving cases. William Maze is a nationally published author in drunk driving defense. He lectures on DUI defense in Michigan and out-of-state. He has extensive training, specialized knowledge, and--most important--jury trial experience. He has successfully defended hundreds of drunk driving cases.

A Michigan Drunk Driving Charge is Serious!

A Michigan drunk driving charge is very serious. You must treat this charge as potentially life-changing. A Michigan drunk driving conviction can:

  • Result in a jail term or imprisonment
  • Loss of driving privileges and automobile forfeiture
  • Collateral consequences on professional and occupational licenses
  • Steep fines, costs, and driver responsibility fees
  • Probation, community service, and work programs

    • A Michigan drunk driving conviction cannot be expunged, set aside, or taken under advisement. A lot of people think that the courts simply want their money. No, to the contrary, the courts and the prosecutors demand money and whole lot more.

    A drunk driving charge is one of the most serious crimes that an ordinary everyday person might face in a lifetime. It is also one of the most complicated offenses for a criminal defense lawyer to handle, with an emphasis on scientific defenses that most lawyers have little experience experience with and even less knowledge.

    The good news is that these cases can be won, and you've been lucky enough to stumble across a law firm that has focused on drunk driving defense for over a decade and a half. With years of training and experience in field sobriety testing, breath testing, urine analysis, and blood testing, you have found one of Michigan's leading drunk driving defense firms. Call us right now so we can put our experience, training, and knowledge to work for you!

    The Maze Legal Group Difference

    Starting on your case early is only one critical step that many attorneys miss. In many instances, attorneys don't know what to look for in a DUI case. Videos from the police car and from the police station are never sought, even though videos are clearly critical for the defense. Obtaining videos is expensive, and attorneys are frequently afraid that the video evidence will confirm the police officer's report. Some lawyers even suggest that the police will destroy these tapes if they are helpful. Nonsense! We sue police departments when we don't get our evidence, and we have had those departments pay tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees after turning over those videos.
     
    Videos from the police station, along with audio, photographs, and various documents pertaining to the chemical testing frequently reveal mistakes, omissions, and signs of sobriety that officer's leave out of reports. Computer records and GPS data can reveal shocking information to impeach an officer.  These materials must be requested and properly reviewed or you are waiving many potential defenses.
     
    Mr. Maze has developed successful, aggressive methods to obtain the necessary information to help you fight your case. After a complete and through review, motions, evidentiary challenges and possibly a jury trial may be options that you need to explore. Unless your attorney understands the underlying law and science surrounding drunk driving, you cannot adequately explore the options available to you. 

    77 Day Rule In Michigan Drunk Driving DUI Cases

    published by Maze Legal Group PC on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 21:52

    I get a lot of questions about the “77 Day Rule” from folks charged with a DUI. This mysterious rule that is rumored to exist inspires people to hope that a drunk driving charge will simply disappear, and they can move on with their lives. The truth is that I still field questions about this archaic rule from practicing lawyers.

    The 77 Day Rule does exist, but it does not help win DUI cases. To the contrary, it is used as a weapon to hurt a person’s ability to defend a drunk driving case.
