Experienced Drunk Driving Defense
Probably more than any other offense, people from all walks of life find themselves faced with charges of drinking and driving (operating while intoxicated). The consequences of an OWI conviction in the state of Michigan have never been more severe: jail, probation, license restrictions, suspensions and revocations, fines and costs, and burdensome Driver Responsibility fees imposed by the Secretary of State.
Michigan DUI Attorney (OWI/OUIL/DWI)
My name is David G. Moore. I have dealt with literally thousands of OWI cases both as a prosecuting attorney and in private practice as a criminal defense lawyer. No matter what the charges and what the circumstances, I can help limit the impact of a fateful arrest for drunk driving:
- Operating while intoxicated by alcohol (OWI/OUIL/OWVI)
- Operating under the influence of drugs (OUID)
- Repeat OWI or enhanced OWI (Michigan
- Felony drunk driving (third offense or injury accident)
- Underage drinking and driving (zero tolerance offenses)
- Refusal of the breath test
OWI Defense for Out-of-State Drivers
I am available nights, weekends and even holidays to come to the aid of non-resident drivers (college students, truck drivers, travelers) arrested on suspicion of drunk driving while passing through the Kalamazoo area.
I take a two-pronged approach to these types of cases: (1) litigation and (2) damage control. Both approaches are utilized at the same with one goal in mind — the best possible result for my clients.
In the litigation approach I explore whether the contact with the police passes constitutional muster. Was there was probable cause for the arrest, were field sobriety tests performed correctly, was the proper procedure followed when the evidence sample was obtained, was the operator qualified to operate the breath-test machine, and was the machine accurate?
Damage control refers to exploring opportunities to avoid a criminal record, avoid jail and otherwise minimize the impact. This includes fighting for your driving privileges in the Secretary of State driver's license hearing. I also work to ensure that those who have a problem with alcohol or drug abuse get the help they need and not merely punishment.
