Canton DUI Lawyer

DUI Attorney in Canton, MI

Being pulled over for a DUI can mark the beginning of a stressful ordeal. Michigan’s DUI laws carry harsh potential penalties for anyone convicted of driving under the influence, which is why many defendants turn to a Canton DUI lawyer to fight their charges in court. Anyone arrested in Canton will have his or her case heard in the 35th District Court, in Plymouth.

DUI arrests and crashes remain a pressing issue in Canton and across Michigan. Anyone arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence faces serious consequences like fines, probation, potential jail time, and the loss of driving privileges.

Strong OWI legal representation (the technical term is Michigan for what everyone just calls a “DUI” is “Operating While Intoxicated,” or “OWI” for short), like our firm provides, can protect you from winding up with a serious conviction on your record and losing your driving privileges, and even your freedom.

Reliable DUI Defense in Canton

At Jeffrey Randa and Associates, we know that good people can make a mistake in judgment or find themselves facing charges because of heavy-handed police. No matter how you wound up facing a DUI charge, Jeffrey Randa and Associates is here to help. When you work with us, you gain the support of a team that genuinely cares and won’t settle for anything less than the very best possible outcome to your case.

Often, this means that we are able to have your charges either dropped completely, or, if the evidence is too strong to prevent that, then at least get them reduced to something less serious. In addition to being DUI lawyers, we are also genuine Michigan driver’s license restoration lawyers, so we know exactly how to handle your DUI in the best way possible to protect your ability to drive.

Protecting Your Driving Privileges in DUI Cases

A 1st offense DUI conviction will result in at least some suspension of driving privileges.

A conviction for a 2nd offense DUI within 7 years of a single prior, or a 3rd DUI conviction within 10 years of 2 priors requires the complete revocation of the driver’s license. The length of time that you are left without the ability to drive depends on factors like the dates of any prior offenses and, in High BAC cases, your blood alcohol content at the time you were arrested.

At Jeffrey Randa and Associates our first priority in every DUI case is to help our clients avoid losing the ability to drive. In repeat offense cases, we look to a “workaround” to do that, and/or to otherwise make sure our clients can drive again legally as soon as possible.

Effective Legal Defense Strategies for Fighting a DUI Charge

The most effective legal DUI defense strategy is one that protects you from a conviction or serious penalties following arrest. In some cases, this may involve directly fighting the charges or challenging the evidence and casting doubt on the police version of events. Other times, we’ll negotiate a plea bargain to a less severe charge.

The goal in every DUI case is either get the whole thing dismissed completely, or, if that can’t happen, then to at least avoid as many of the potential legal penalties and negative consequences as possible. Our firm truly believes, and we live by the motto that “Success in a DUI case is best measured by what does NOT happen to you.”

In repeat offense cases, it’s often helpful to demonstrate a commitment to sobriety. In such cases, acknowledging at least some kind of troubled relationship to alcohol and finding the right kind of help (we work very closely with our clients on that) can have a profoundly positive effect on the outcome of the case.

Potential Outcomes for Your Case

The outcome of any DUI case in Michigan depends on factors such as blood alcohol content, prior history, and the circumstances surrounding the arrest. A first conviction may result in fines, probation, community service, license suspension, and even possible jail time. Repeat convictions carry harsher potential negative consequences, including extended license revocations, a higher risk of jail, and mandatory alcohol treatment.

Many courts now have a Sobriety Court program focused on treatment and strict supervision for repeat DUI offenders. These courts are not available everywhere, but our team has been successful in getting people admitted not only in different courts, but even across county lines. Defendants who complete Sobriety Court successfully may see reduced penalties and be able to KEEP THEIR DRIVER’S LICENSE.

That’s huge.

With a smart defense strategy, charges can sometimes be dismissed if the prosecution’s case isn’t strong enough. In other cases, charges may be reduced to a lesser offense through negotiations. When a case can’t be dismissed outright, we will always seek the most favorable and lenient Plea bargain possible, and we’ll fight like hell to get it.

Jeffrey Randa and Associates stands ready to get the best possible result in your DUI case.
