What are your options after being charged?
Most people charged with DUI figure to hire an attorney to do damage control. They shop around for the best price. Many are willing to accept the prosecutor's reduction from Operating While Intoxicated down to impaired. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this decision, so long as you understand the consequences.

By failing to consider a more aggressive defense, you could be pleading guilty to a crime you didn't commit or a charge that might have been dismissed. The long term consequences of a drunk driving conviction can be very serious. Aside from the fines, court costs, driver responsibility fees, and probation, a limited number of Michigan courts order jail time for first time offenders. Most insurance companies cancel insurance for a first offense and require a higher premium insurance. A second offense results in a complete loss of license for at least one year, with absolutely no restricted driving privileges, and a third offense any time during one's lifetime is a felony carrying up to five years in prison.

Defending against these serious charges is expensive. By pleading guilty, you avoid those expenses but you incur several others instead. There is no easy solution, but you should take the time to consult with Mr. Maze to preliminarily decide your best course of action.
