Michigan DUI Attorney Paul J. Tafelski Explains Why One Needs A Lawyer For A DUI In Michigan

Feb 9, 2022

February 09, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Michigan DUI attorney Paul J. Tafelski releases a new article (https://www.michigandefenselaw.com/mi-owi-dui-lawyer/) that discusses the reasons why one needs a lawyer for a DUI in Michigan. The lawyer mentions that Michigan takes drunk driving very seriously and if someone is convicted, it may lead to significant penalties. These penalties include fines, the loss of their driving privileges, and even jail time.

According to the Michigan DUI attorney, “While the law allows you to operate a motor vehicle after consuming some alcohol, the amount that you can legally consume is highly restricted. Over the years, enforcement of drunk driving laws has become more aggressive and charges more punitive. Police stops can target people unfairly and use inaccurate evidence or improper procedure.”

The lawyer explains the legal limit of blood alcohol content, or BAC is 0.08%. If someone has been stopped while driving with a BAC of 0.08%, they can be charged with OWI or operating while intoxicated. There is zero tolerance for drivers under the age of 21 who are caught driving with a BAC of 0.02%.

In the article, the DUI attorney also explains that a conviction of any drunk driving charge in Michigan can lead to serious punishments. This includes fines, points against someone’s driving record, driving privilege sanctions, and even jail time.

Additionally, the lawyer says that even for a first-time DUI, it is important that the defendant take it seriously. It may be intimidating, but with the help of an experienced lawyer, these charges may become easier to handle.

Furthermore, attorney Tafelski says that every person digests alcohol differently. Some may get drunk faster than others. Based on different factors like weight and age, a person’s tolerance to alcohol may be affected. Sometimes, a woman may reach a BAC of 0.08% faster than a man. The way alcohol is consumed can affect a person’s metabolism of liquor too.

Lastly, the Michigan DUI attorney explains how important it is to seek the guidance of an experienced attorney when being charged with DUI. Having a skilled attorney may help the defendant create a successful defense strategy and gain their freedom. Also, a skilled DUI attorney may be able to study the case in a more in-depth manner and help the defendant understand their rights and responsibilities in the case.
