Michigan DUI Defense

A DUI charge in Michigan is a serious matter with potentially severe consequences, including jail time, fines, license suspension, increased insurance costs, and a permanent criminal record. The specific charges and penalties depend on factors including blood alcohol content, prior offenses, and the circumstances of the arrest.

Baldori Law provides experienced DUI defense in Michigan courts — including the district courts serving Lansing and East Lansing. We examine every aspect of your case, from the initial traffic stop to the testing procedures, to build the strongest possible defense.

DUI Matters We Handle

  • Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)
  • Operating While Visibly Impaired (OWVI)
  • High BAC offenses (0.17 or higher — “Super Drunk” law)
  • Second and subsequent DUI offenses
  • Underage DUI

Already Lost Your License?

If multiple convictions have already led to a revoked or suspended license, getting it back is a separate process — a hearing before the Michigan Secretary of State where you carry the burden of proving your sobriety. We handle that work on our dedicated Michigan driver's license restoration page.

Protecting Your Driving Privileges

Losing your ability to drive can affect every aspect of your life — your job, your family responsibilities, and your independence. Baldori Law understands what is at stake and works to protect your driving privileges or restore them as efficiently as possible.
