An OWI arrest can feel overwhelming, but the most important thing to know is this: your case is not automatically lost. Michigan’s drunk driving laws are complex, and police officers make mistakes every day — during the stop, the field tests, the arrest, and the chemical testing process.
How I Approach OWI Defense
Every case begins with a full investigation into the legality of the stop, the accuracy of the breath or blood test, and whether your rights were violated. I look for issues with probable cause, field sobriety testing, the Datamaster, blood draw procedures, and police reports. When the evidence is weak, we challenge it. When the case should be negotiated, we negotiate from a position of strength.
Why Experience Matters
With nearly 25 years of OWI defense experience across Michigan courts, I know how judges and prosecutors handle these cases — and what it takes to get results. Whether your goal is to avoid jail, save your license, or fight the case entirely, the right strategy makes all the difference.
