Facing a DUI charge in Michigan? You still have options. A DUI (or OWI) arrest doesn’t have to derail your future. Attorney Dan Geherin—an experienced criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor—has spent over 25 years helping Michigan drivers fight OWI charges and protect their rights seeking driver's license reinstatement in Michigan.
Here are five of the most effective DUI defense strategies his team uses to help clients avoid the worst-case scenario:
1. Was the Stop Legal?
Police need reasonable suspicion to pull you over. If the initial stop wasn’t lawful, the entire case might be compromised. This is one of the first things Geherin Law Group investigates.
2. Field Sobriety Tests: Are They Reliable?
Fatigue, anxiety, or even uneven pavement can affect performance on field sobriety tests. We challenge both the validity of the tests and how they were administered.
3. Breath and Blood Test Accuracy
Testing devices must be calibrated and procedures must be followed precisely. If not, the BAC results could be thrown out.
4. Reviewing the Officer’s Conduct
Police reports don’t always tell the full story. Inconsistencies between bodycam footage and written reports can be powerful evidence in your favor.
5. Exploring Alternatives to Conviction
For first-time offenders, options like Sobriety Court or deferred sentencing may be available—and Attorney Dan Geherin works hard to secure these outcomes for his clients.
Don't navigate this alone. If you've been charged with OWI in Michigan, reach out to a team that knows how to fight for you—and win.
