What is a Super Drunk .17%

---

The basic elements of a OWI with a high BAC  or Super Drunk in Michigan are the same as a OWI except the blood alcohol level is .17% or higher and it is only for a first offense. And if convicted of this be prepared to get your checkbook out big time! A high BAC is treated like a hardened criminal. The fines and penalties are insane. And the residual effect could last for years.One of the best things about a Super drunk is that is carries a 45 day license suspension of no driving followed by 320 day restricted with an interlock device.Up to $700 in fines and another $1000 in court cost plus probation over site fees. The worst part the blow and go can be a real embarrassment and can malfunction causing you more problems with probation and more license suspension. The Super drunk is a bad law. And you don't want to get one. It is an ordeal. If you get one don't get a lawyer that is going to charge you $2,500 because its a super drunk and then not do the work. There is to much at stake for a meet them, greet them, and plead them lawyer. This is a time you need an aggressive OWI lawyer.This is your life.

That's right. If you have a Super Drunk take it to trial. If there is not deal don't play the cops game. Don't play the prosecutor's hand. Play your hand. Force the State to prove every element of the crime.  They plan to burn you and treat you like you are a hardened criminal. The State and society looks at someone charged with Super Drunk as if your are a real danger. And if you are out there driving around with a high BAC you probably are. There is not excuse for it. But you might be innocent, the machines might have been faulty, the blood draw could have been off, the police might have done something wrong or illegal, the Police night have made a mistake. Don't think there is nothing to be done. I have even heard about a blood draw and the attorney done a DNA test the blood wasn't even the defendant's blood. There is a lot that can go wrong for the police. They are not perfect. And there is much to say about human error. What is your blood alcohol is .169? What is a skilled attorney can convince the jury there is an error possibility of .02 one way or the other and at trial the cop admits to doing something improper. You think that might create reasonable doubt? 

Let me say this again: IF YOU ARE ARRESTED UNDER  SUPER DRUNK DRIVING LAW YOU ARE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. MORE TROUBLE THEN YOU THINK. YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL. YOU ARE PROBABLY A REALLY DECENT PERSON THAT PARTIED A LITTLE MUCH AND WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. YOU NEED A TOUGH AGGRESSIVE DRUNK DRIVING ATTORNEY. YOU DO NOT NEED THE CHEAPEST LAWYER.YOU DO NOT NEED A CRIMINAL LAWYER. YOU NEED SOMEONE VERSED IN THE SCIENCE AND PROCEDURE OF OWI WITH A HIGH BAC. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO SAVE MONEY.  PLACES LIKE WHITE LAKE CHARTER TOWNSHIP, BRIGHTON, HOWELL LOVE TO TAKE A DUI AND HIT YOU WITH A SUPER DRUNK.

It is an uphill battle. The courts are going to look down on you. The public will see you as a piece of crap. The prosecutor wants the max. The police are going to hate you. And everyone wants you to lay down and give up your rights. They literally want you to waive your rights. And they do it say they can fine you, suspend your license, control your life on probation, get that money for the blow and go.It is tough to win a Super drunk case, but not impossible. Remember there are a percentage of people arrested that are actually innocent. They are in the system because of police error. A good lawyer can expose this. There are machine malfunctions that can be exposed. But if your lawyer is only charging you a $1000 I bet he is not investigating if the machine was working correctly. If there was a blood test you can request the blood and have your own independent scientist test the blood for errors. You can file motions to suppress evidence. you can file motions to dismiss. And you can have a good old fashion jury trial. And you can win.But if the evidence tight and the police did everything right and there is not defense at least to made the State prove its case and you will have the peace of mind that you  are not suffering extreme punishment because you laid down and waived  your rights. Yes, you can beat a Super Drunk. It is difficult. But if the State of Michigan offers no incentive to not go to trial you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Remember they must prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of the crime you are accused of. And there are police out there that bend the rules, especially on OWI cases. 

Call me. Let me advise you and walk you through the process. Let me help you 

I said earlier that the State wants you to waive your rights by pleading guilty. Don't do it. Don't go get a cheap lawyer and walk in there and plead guilty as charged. That is a trap. You will suffer for a long time. Maybe the rest of your life. You have to fight a Super Drunk. You have to. dddern@aol.com 810-632-9160 Office 248-882-0838 cell.
