Drug Crime Licensing Sanctions

If you have been charged with a drug crime you are probably aware of the possible sanctions i.e. possible jail time, high fines, and court appearances. However, you may be in for a nasty surprise. Drug crimes have additional penalties for your license. Your license will be suspended for 6 months, although you will be eligible for a restricted license after 30 days. For a second offense you are facing a 1 year suspension with eligibility for a restricted license after 60 days. If you are facing a drug charge it is important to retain an experienced attorney to represent you and protect your rights. Our attorneys have successfully negotiated with the prosecutor and city attorneys in similar cases to get the charges reduced, modified, or even dismissed thereby eliminating the licensing ramifications. Further, individuals charged with drug charges may be eligible for diversionary sentencing programs which are not routinely offered to people representing themselves. Having an attorney can be the difference between having a crime that will follow you for the rest of your life, and getting off with a clean record after a period of probation.

Michigan’s Emergency Vehicle Caution Law sec 257.653a

Relatively recently Michigan passed an emergency vehicle caution law. It was passed after many of us took our first driving exam so many people do not know what the law requires. In order to protect emergency responders who are frequently hurt in the line of duty, a person found guilty of violating this law is guilty of a misdemeanor. If any enhancements apply you could face the heavy penalty of up to 15 years in prison and or a $7,500 fine. To stay in the clear, if you are driving on a road with two or more lanes of travel in the same direction you must slow down and move at least one lane over from the emergency vehicle. If this is not possible due to weather, traffic, road conditions, or because it is a two-lane road it is required that you slow down and give the responder as much room as possible. If you have been charged with a violation of this section, it is important to have an experienced attorney to protect your rights.
