My name is Ryan Glanville.  I handle the firm's drunk driving cases.  Michigan's new Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) law is tough.  You can get busted for driving after two beers.  Here are the penalties:

1st offenders face:
     -    up to 93 days in jail
     -    a 6 month license suspension
     -    possible vehicle immobilization
     -    fines and court costs

2nd offenders face:
     -    up to 1 year in jail
     -    license revocation for at least 1 year
     -    mandatory vehicle immobilization
     -    more fines and court costs

3rd offenders face:
     -    a felony with up to 5 years in prison
     -    license revocation for a minimum of 5 years
     -    even more fines and costs

The best way to avoid the time, cost, and humiliation of a drunk driving conviction is not to drink and drive.  If you do get arrested for drunk driving, you absolutely need an attorney.  Cases can be won by exposing illegal stops and arrests by the police, or violations of  alcohol testing procedures.  If I can't get a case thrown out, I fight to keep my client out of jail and on the road.

For an initial consultation call me in Ludington at (231) 843-8579, in Baldwin at (231) 745-4739 or email me at ryan.glanville@thompsonglanville.com .
