Criminal Offenses are divided into two categories, misdemeanors and felonies. Felonies are more serious charges that carry greater penalties than misdemeanors. Generally speaking, a misdemeanor is a criminal offense that is handled in a District Court where the fine can not exceed $500.00 and the maximum sentence is up to 93 days in jail.
Conversely, a felony originates in District Court, is usually resolved in Circuit Court, and some carry penalties with maximum fines reaching the thousands and up to life in prison. There are many factors that lead to a charging decision from the prosecutor’s office, and whether or not a person will be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. Some of those factors include the person’s prior criminal history, age, severity of injuries (if any), and use of weapon (if any).

- Felonies: Felony charges are the most serious criminal offenses, often carrying severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines. Robin Persiconi's extensive experience in defending clients against serious crimes ensures that you receive the best possible defense strategy tailored to your unique case.

There are many acronyms associated with Drinking and/or Drugged Driving offenses, including, DUI (Driving Under the Influence), OWI (Operating While Intoxicated), and OWVI (Operating While Visibly Impaired). All of them involve the use of alcohol or some other controlled substance, including marijuana, and its impact on a person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle.
Every OWI case requires expertise on the following subject matter:
OWI Detection And Enforcement - This includes how the officer is trained to observe a motor vehicle in motion and the driver immediately after the stop. This also includes non-standardized field sobriety testing.
It is important to know that a police officer can pull someone over if they observe a civil infraction being committed, which can be anything from speeding, to failing to utilize headlights after dusk. Upon conducting a lawful stop of a vehicle, an officer may then detect signs of alcohol consumption including observing the odor of alcohol or the effects of alcohol on the driver. This may then give rise to an investigation for operating while intoxicated.
During an investigation for an OWI, the officer will likely have the driver undergo standardized field sobriety tests. There are three standardized field sobriety tests that are almost always administered:
Horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN)
The walk-and-turn
One-leg stand test
After undergoing the standardized field sobriety tests, the officer will then typically administer a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT). This is usually administered by the officer at the scene of an OWI investigation to assist the officer in making an arrest decision. It is a small portable device that the officer asks the subject to blow into which gives a reading of the amount of alcohol in the subjects breath. The legal limit in Michigan is a .08.
The Officer’s Arrest Decision Every police officer is trained how to make an arrest decision based upon the tests conducted above, along with driving observed and observations of the driver.
A very important aspect of defending someone charged with an OWI is understanding the various breath/blood tests administered by the officers, and for what purpose such a test can be used or admitted at trial. Another commonly used test is the Datamaster breath test. This test is usually administered after an arrest has already been made and takes place at the police station. The officer will usually ask the subject to blow two times into the machine. This test, only if administered properly and if the instrument is maintained properly, can be admissible in court to determine a driver’s BAC (breath alcohol content).
Finally, there is the blood test.
Blood can be drawn pursuant to consent or a search warrant. The blood has to be drawn by a qualified person, under the supervision of a doctor and delivered to the Michigan State Police as soon as possible after it’s drawn. Results can be admissible in court to prove a driver’s BAC.
