Drunk Driving, OWI, DUI Defense
A Drunk Driving Arrest Is Not A Drunk Driving Conviction!
Drunk driving is one of the most highly charged crimes in the State of Michigan. However, it is important to remember that an arrest is not a conviction,
and that just because you "failed" the test, you are not auotmatically guilty!
The Kemp Law Firm is highly skilled in the specialized field of drunk driving defense. In Michigan, the "legal limit" for drunk driving
is a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08.
Your BAC is calculated using one of several tests or machines that are designed to show what your BAC is. The problem is that the machines can be wrong, and the tests can be flawed.
Here is a chart showing what your BAC should be, based on several factors.
There are other ways to prove your innocence when charged with OWI/DUI/drunk driving. The officer may not have had a reason to pull you over, or may have violated your rights in another way.
