Michigan OWI Charges & Penalties

At Jeffrey Buehner, PLLC, we defend clients facing a wide range of Michigan DUI and OWI offenses, including:

• Super Drunk Driving (.17 BAC or higher)

• Felony DUI (3rd offense) – up to 5 years in prison

• Operating While Intoxicated – Child Endangerment

• Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) (1st and 2nd offenses)

• Underage DUI (Zero Tolerance Law)

Under Michigan law, individuals 21 or older with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.08% or higher can be charged with Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). For drivers under 21, Michigan's Zero Tolerance law makes it a misdemeanor to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of just 0.02% or more. The penalties for OWI or DUI charges can be severe, and vary greatly depending upon the exact charge. Penalties can include:

• Jail time

• Fines

• Community service

• License suspension

• License revocation

• Vehicle immobilization

• Vehicle forfeiture

• Six points on your driving record

• Alcohol / Drug screening

• Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock

• SCRAM tether

• Alcohol counseling

• Probation

For repeat offenses or aggravating factors such as child endangerment, penalties can increase dramatically. Our DUI defense attorneys have a proven track record of helping clients avoid the harshest consequences, whether through trial defense or plea negotiations.
