When you are charged with a drunk driving in Michigan, it is always our mission at The Nichols Law Firm to obtain a non-alcohol related conviction or a dismissal. Sometimes, if your history and the facts of the case will not make our goals possible in that sense, or you wish to resolve your case our next objective is to minimize the consequences.
A client of Wendy Schiller-Nichols came to her with 3 prior OWI convictions. The facts made it impossible to avoid a conviction. This man was devastated and was scared to death that he would lose his job if he had to do any jail. Most (if not all) judges would most likely order a term of jail for a true 4th OWI conviction. The client was married, had 3 children and maintained his full-time employment. The prosecutor was threatening to amend the charge to a Felony OWI 3rd. At the end of the case and because of Battle Creek DUI attorney, Wendy Schiller-Nichols’, quickness on her feet, she was able to obtain for her client an impaired driving with no up-front jail.
The client was amazingly ordered to six months non-reporting probation, out-patient therapy and fines and costs. To say the least, Wendy Schiller-Nichols’ client was emphatically appreciative of the work that she did: “worth every penny,” he said.
