You’ve Been Arrested for DUI in Michigan – Now What?

Michigan DUI Lawyer Patrick Barone

Being arrested for drunk driving in Michigan is an unwelcome, stressful and traumatic intrusion into your life.

At the Barone Defense Firm we’ve been helping people just like you for two decades – good people who have made the same mistake you have - they’ve been arrested for drunk driving.

We believe that the best way to really provide meaningful long-lasting help is to identify what factors lead to your DUI arrest, and then to assist you in finding the right kind of support.  Not just legal support, but life support.

What keeps you up at night?

One common emotion felt by nearly everyone arrested for drunk driving is fear.  But fear does not come in “one size fits all.”  Your greatest fear will be dictated by your life circumstances, and may be anything from facing the judge in court to facing your spouse or children at home.  Maybe you’re the most fearful of your boss.  Maybe it’s the possibility of spending time in jail that keeps you up at night.   Maybe you’re afraid that the judge will order you to stop drinking.

We have found that your fear will start to diminish once you’ve hired us to represent you in court.  This is because we are a Firm that promises to make sure you are treated fairly.  We promise that we will educate you on the process and what to expect as your case moves through the legal system.

The purpose of this site is to help you learn what you can do right now to win back some control in your life.

The control that you began to lose as soon as the blue lights went on behind you; when the officer ordered you out of the car and you felt as if you could not refuse; when you were ordered to perform those exercises at the side of the road.  When the officer slapped the cuffs on you and then treated you like a jack-in-the-box as he bent your head over and stuffed you into the back of the police car.  At this stressful time in your life, you need supportive help, not just with your legal issues, but also with your broader life issues.

Here are some things you should be doing right now to start winning back your life:

  • Hiring the Best Lawyer you Can Afford – There are resources throughout this web site that will help you find the best possible legal representation. Look for a lawyer with specialized training with a track record for winning drunk driving cases in Michigan. This is really the first step toward reducing stress and winning back your life.  Contact us and we’ll help make sure you get a top DUI lawyer in Michigan to help you with your case.
  • Exploring the Benefit of Alcohol or Substance Abuse Treatment – there is no doubt that not everyone arrested for drunk driving has an alcohol or substance abuse problem, but the responsible thing is certainly to explore this possibility.  Even if you don’t have this issue in your life, there may be other areas or issues in your life that would benefit from therapy.
  • Learning as Much as you Can – about the offense of drunk driving as well as the kind of treatment options that are available.  You also want to learn about the drunk driving defenses that may be available for your case.

This web site contains a great deal of information about all of these topics.  Our goal is to get you pointed in the right direction.  It is our hope that if you have not retained us to represent you, your lawyer has discussed all of these issues with you.  If not, then our hope is that you will benefit from the information and resources discussed and described on these pages.

Thank you for visiting this web site, and please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Sincerely,

Patrick T. Barone and
