Our staff includes a former Wayne County Assistant District Attorney so we are well aware of what tactics the prosecution will use to try and convict you. We work hard to help you avoid a conviction or reduce the charges to Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI). A DWAI is a violation, not a misdemeanor like a DWI, meaning that your license will be suspended for a shorter period of time and you will not have a misdemeanor on a criminal record.
