    Michigan OWI / DUI Defense

    Driving Under the Influence (OWI / DUI) is a serious crime in Michigan that can lead to driver’s license revocation, vehicle impoundment, mandatory installation of ignition interlock devices, and several years behind bars. Unfortunately, there are times when innocent motorists are accused of driving drunk without sufficient evidence. Faulty breathalyzer tests are often used that may result in inaccurate readings, and drivers can even be arrested on officer suspicion alone.

Shafer immediately to defend and contest your charges.  As an experienced OWI / DUI lawyer, Mr. Shafer will thoroughly investigate your case and will speak to police and other witnesses to obtain evidence in your favor. If he detects any sign of fraud or unlawful arrest, Mr. Shafer will not rest until you walk away from your OWI / DUI case with a reduced sentence or with your charges fully dismissed.

    Domestic Violence Cases

    Domestic violence is another area of expertise for criminal lawyer Stuart R. Shafer. Michigan law defines domestic violence as an assault or assault and battery against a victim by a spouse, former spouse, co-resident or former household resident, or person who has a child with the victim. Although there are times when a domestic violence accusation is accurate, there are numerous instances in which individuals are falsely accused of using force or aggression against their spouses or children. In fact, an alleged victim doesn’t even need to be injured in order for them to claim domestic violence.

    Those accused of domestic violence and assault may face a minimum of $500 in fines and up to 93 days in jail on a first conviction alone, which is why it is imperative to seek legal help immediately.
