Scott Moore, Attorney at Law
OPERATING WHILE INTOXICATED (OWI) - Operating while intoxicated (OWI), also known as driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), or drunk driving , is an increasingly common social problem in today's world. Throughout the state of Michigan and in all other jurisdictions across the United States, it is considered a serious offense and can lead to severe criminal penalties, including heavy fines, loss of driving privileges, and incarceration. The authorities in many states are currently cracking down on DUI offenses by reducing the blood alcohol content level at which a person can legally operate a motor vehicle. However, knowledgeable legal counsel can help you avoid hefty fines, license suspensions, or large insurance increases.
