Question

was stopped night of 25th in Ortonville. Oakland co. Michigan.. They kept me 12 hrs then let me out. I live near Cleveland, Oh . I was told nothing except that I was the highest bac in a while. What do I need to do now. seek a lawyer or just wait till I receive something from Oakland county. I had stopped drinking for 4 yrs prior but fell off the wagon with some old biker buddies drinking shine

Answer

I practice frequently in Oakland county. There are actions you can take now. Contact me and we can discuss your situation in detail.

Answer

You need to be proactive and get a lawyer involved now. Your lawyer can obtain the police reports and all other necessary videos and documentation and start preparing your case. Do not wait until charges are filed. Look for an attorney that makes DUI a substantial part of their practice. Oakland County is probably the toughest county in Michigan when it comes to drunk driving.

Answer

It is possible that there is or there may be a warrant issued for your arrest. I don't expect anyone will come to OH to arrest you for that warrant but if you are caught in Michigan, you'd likely be arrested. Our drunk driving defense team can help you by calling 1 866-766-5245 as soon as you're ready to hire an attorney. We will conduct a complete investigation to determine whether your charges can be beat. You can read more at:

Answer

It may take awhile since I imagine you have been convicted before and the police have to go to the Oakland county prosecutor to get a warrant- sometimes a month will pass. They'll mail it to you. Based on your narrative, you're going to be charged with "Super Drunk" driving with maybe a 2nd or 3d offense included.

Before you go searching for a lawyer, start going to AA meetings (do a 90 in 90) and record your attendance.Stay out of Michigan for the time being. After you get the warrant, read it carefully. Your strong attendance at AA should get you a lower bond. Call the court and find out the amount before you appear (Have someone else drive you - like your mother) so you can have the money ready - then go see a lawyer.

We usually charge extra for jail visits so make sure you bring enough to post bond.

I personally don't like to interview heavy drinkers until they've been sober for at least a week.
