Legal Question in DUI Law in Michigan

Re: Minor in Possession

What happens now is that hopefully he's smart enough that he needs an attorney to help him through this mess. He's too young to have a criminal record for the rest of his life.

Re: Minor in Possession

you van probably plead the reckless down. That is a hard offense to probe if you look up the elements. Have him or her call me to discuss. Www.kliszlaw.com. Tim Klisz

Re: Minor in Possession

He needs to retain an attorney immediately to help negotiate a plea deal with the prosecutor, as both of these charges are misdemeanors, and can carry heavy penalties. Please have him contact me if he can afford a lawyer. If not, he needs to call the city/court where he is being charged and ask for a public defender to be appointed to help him.

Re: Minor in Possession

Your friend should have the presence of mind to ask his own questions. Lawyers don't like to waste their time and yours evaluating second-hand accounts of incidents when the defendant is available.

Suffice it to say he's facing a 93 day misdemeanor, one year probation, fines, costs, restoration and oversight fees, all totaling about $2,500, and a 6 month hard suspension of his driver's license.

If he had behaved himself with the officer, he would have gotten a zero tolerance charge instead of the reckless driving. If he's appearing in the 48th District Court (your neighborhood), he could be in for a dark ride.

He needs a lawyer.
