Drunk Driving in Michigan


Most people know that driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) is not only dangerous, but also a serious criminal offense. This statement is especially true if you are arrested for drunk driving in Michigan, as state lawmakers are particularly tough on convicted DUI offenders. As a result, most drivers must have legal representation in order to escape the devastating effects of a drunk driving arrest.

Like all other states, Michigan prohibits driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. As a result, state law enforcement officers often use chemical testing to determine whether a driver should be arrested for driving under the influence. Although scientific in nature, the techniques officers use to calculate a driver’s BAC—breath, blood, or urine tests—are often flawed and can lead to unreliable test results.

Fortunately, the Barone Defense Firm knows everything there is to know about blood alcohol content and chemical test methods.
