Tekonsha, MI DUI and OWI Law Firms & Lawyers

The best course of action would be to appear on the warrant so you can be arraigned. Then you can explain to the judge why it should be quashed or what your good reason was for not appearing.

That is really up to the facility. Yes, DUIs are misdemeanors, but they are misdemeanors that involved substance and can trigger concerns that you may have a substance abuse problem. Obviously, we dont want people with those problems working in the healthcare field so that may hamper your ability to get a job in that field. Your best bet is to consult with employers in that field to find out how much that may affect their decision. You can always offer evidence of abstinence and rehabilitation and a substance abuse evaluation which may help. That is why some people opt for the more severe Reckless Driving as a plea option when offered because it is not substance related.

FIND AN EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL LAWYER who practices in the County in which the warrant was issued. It is just barely possible that he could work something out with the prosecutor perhaps by filing a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute, or by some other means by which he need not disclose that you made a false statement to the law enforcement person on the scene. Good Luck.
