The attorneys of Hertz Schram can help you avoid these consequences. We are a law firm that is bold, forward-thinking and uncommonly creative. When you choose us as your drunk driving criminal defense team, you can be assured that we will not simply rely on traditional methods. We will pursue every possible defense and minimize every possible consequence. We believe that is the level of dedicated representation you deserve.

The law firm of Hertz Schram was founded in 1979. We offer services to people in Detroit and throughout Southeast Michigan in OWI cases, also known as DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs) or DWI (driving while intoxicated).

We are not your traditional law firm. Our thorough, experienced and skilled legal representation comes with a commitment to personal attention to your needs. Our attorneys have prosecutorial experience as an assistant prosecuting attorney and a U.S. attorney. We will take the time to learn about your case from you. Our defense lawyers will protect you from drunk driving charges and violations such as:

  • Open intoxicants
  • Minor in possession
  • Speeding
  • Careless and reckless driving
  • Vehicular assault
  • Vehicular accident cases
  • Hit and run
  • Driving with a suspended driver's license
  • Evading arrest

Prevent your driver's license from being suspended

Most people rely heavily on their ability to drive when and where they please. They use their car to get to work, to take their children to school, to run to the grocery store and much more. None of this is possible with a suspended driver's license, which is a potential consequence of an OWI/DUI/DWI conviction. Our drunk driving defense attorneys are here to help you keep your license. We will work hard to see that your life is not interrupted by the loss of your driver's license. If you have already lost your license, we have the skill to get it reinstated.

Keep your record clean

If convicted of OWI/DUI/DWI, you will have a mark on your permanent record. That mark can be seen by anyone. It can be seen by potential employers, who may take it into account when they make the decision to offer you a job or not. It can be seen by landlords, more and more of whom make decisions about who they rent to after looking at a potential tenant's criminal record. At Hertz Schram, our drunk driving defense team will fight to keep your record clean.

Avoid fines and jail time in OWI cases

Our drunk driving defense attorneys know how to protect you against substantial fines and jail time. We are aggressive when it comes to defending our clients. You can be assured that we will fight to keep you from being put behind bars or having to pay large fines.

Prevent increased insurance premiums

Insurance companies consider people who have been convicted of OWI as being a higher risk. For that reason, they typically raise the insurance premiums for those drivers. This is one of the unseen costs that our drunk driving defense attorneys will work to prevent.
