Protecting Your Rights After an OWI or DUI Arrest

An arrest for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), often referred to as a DUI, can have serious consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom. A conviction may affect your driver's license, employment, insurance rates, professional licenses, and even your future opportunities.


At Legal Connections PLLC, we provide experienced OWI and DUI defense throughout Southeast Michigan. We understand that being arrested can be overwhelming, and we are committed to protecting your rights while helping you navigate Michigan's criminal justice system with confidence.


Whether this is your first offense or you have prior convictions, we will carefully evaluate the evidence, explain your legal options, and develop a defense strategy tailored to your case.

Understanding Michigan OWI Laws

Michigan law recognizes several alcohol- and drug-related driving offenses. The specific charge and potential penalties depend on the circumstances of the arrest, including factors such as blood alcohol content (BAC), prior convictions, and whether anyone was injured.


An OWI charge does not automatically mean you will be convicted. Every case should be carefully reviewed to determine whether the traffic stop, investigation, chemical testing, and arrest complied with the law.
