What Does the Prosecutor Have to Prove to Get a Conviction?

In order to prove a drunk driving charge, prosecutors must generally establish beyond a reasonable doubt that you were driving at a 0.08 blood alcohol content (BAC) or greater at the time of your DUI arrest. Challenging unreliable field sobriety tests and inaccurate blood test evidence and breath test evidence is an important part of an effective DUI defense.

Preventing a suspended standard or commercial driver's license (CDL) is another crucial part of the services we provide at Grabel & Associates. We will step in immediately to protect your driving privileges and your ability to earn a living to support your family.

If you are arrested for DUI with a minor passenger in the car, Michigan DWI law provides more severe penalties if you are convicted of child endangerment. An experienced defense lawyer at our firm can also aggressively defend you in cases where there are other aggravating circumstances, such as:

  • Repeat offender status
  • Reckless driving charges
  • DUI hit and run accidents
  • Operating Under the Influence of Liquor (OUIL) causing death
  • OUIL causing serious bodily impairment
  • Leaving the scene of a personal or property damage accident

If your BAC was reported as being substantially higher than the legal limit, prosecutors may be reluctant to negotiate a reduced charge or sentence. An experienced DUI defense attorney at A. Scott Grabel & Associates can ensure you get the best case result despite your blood alcohol level. Contact our offices 24/7 for immediate help.
