Drunk Driving Defense - the Criminal Proceeding
Your drunk driving defense is one of the most crucial events of your life. If you prevail, you can save yourself considerable trouble. If you are convicted, you face the suspension or revocation of your driver's license, stiff fines, and even jail time. This is the time to have James P. Montagne, a trial lawyer with 30 years of experience, on your side.
Michigan's drunk driving statutes - OVI, OWI, OUIL, OWPD, UBAL, and MIP - can easily confuse the average person. Mr. Montagne knows them, and he knows what it takes to protect you. If you have been charged with drunk driving or a related offense, you need serious help right now. We are ready to provide that assistance.
Drunk Driving Defense - the Civil Proceedings
In addition to possible criminal penalties for drunk driving, you risk the loss of your driver's license. If you failed a breathalyzer test, or refused to take it, you face the automatic suspension of your license. You then have 14 days in which to file an appeal with the DMV. You must act fast, or you will automatically lose your license.
If your license was suspended or revoked some time ago, and you want to have it restored, you must go before the Michigan Driver License Appeal Division (DAAD), and pursue a driver's license appeal. The burden is on you to prove to the appeal board that you are worthy to have your license restored. Mr. Montagne can guide you through this process.
