ONE OF THE LEADING OWI LAW FIRMS OF MICHIGAN!!

I’ve been practicing law now for over 20 years—the majority of that time I’ve spent representing exclusively people who are charged with drinking and drug-related offenses as it relates to driving an automobile (what we commonly call drunk driving). In Michigan, the acronym for that is OWI. I became interested in defending people charged with this crime because I’m interested in criminal law and also because I have a background in science.

The science background allows me to understand the hard science that sort of underlies drunk driving and the prosecution and defense of them; including things like breath and blood testing and alcohol metabolism, which are very important for the defense of a drinking driver.

Michigan DUI Attorney

Being arrested for drunk driving is an unexpected and often traumatic experience. Individuals charged with or convicted of impaired and intoxicated driving are often stigmatized and portrayed as irresponsible, dangerous criminals; however, the truth is that the people faced with these charges are often everyday, law-abiding citizens who simply made a mistake.

When law enforcement officers and state prosecutors try to paint you as a criminal, you need someone on your side who understands your situation and can guide you through the process with compassion and empathy.

Our Mission

The Barone Defense Firm is focused on helping people win back their lives. That means restoring your life to the way it was prior to the problems that led to your arrest and, wherever possible, making it as if the drunk driving charge never occurred.

Payment Plans and Free Case Consultation

We offer flexible payment plans to suit our clients’ budgets. Additionally, our attorneys offer free, confidential one-hour case consultations in person or over the phone. Even if you don’t hire us, we want to hear your story and help you in any way we can.

Attorneys and Counselors

At the Barone Defense Firm, we believe that a lawyer is called “Attorney and Counselor” for a reason. We embrace our roles as counselors by carefully interviewing clients in order to better individualize their cases for the prosecutor and judge. This also helps us identify lifestyle patterns that may have led to the drunk driving arrest, as well as other needs, feelings and fears that the client may be experiencing. We do this because every case is unique, and we want to help guide our clients through this tumultuous and uncertain time.

A Complete Approach to Drunk Driving Defense

Because we approach each client as an individual and not just a case number, we are interested in treating the “whole patient”—not just the symptom. This means that we want to know what is going on in your life that caused the OWI arrest in the first place. In some cases, a person may be battling underlying issues, such as alcohol or drug addiction. In these situations, we can help identify the need and assist in obtaining the proper treatment so that our client can begin the road to recovery.

Helping You Win Back Your Life

While our record of results speaks for itself, it is not up to us to determine what a “successful” outcome will look like in your case. During the initial interview process, our attorneys will discuss your goals for the case and how you will define success given your unique situation. It is then our job to reach these goals and obtain a favorable outcome for you.
