Impaired Driving Defense Attorney
Grand Rapids, Michigan

Impaired Driving is a reduced charge that a good attorney can get you when you are charged with an DUI 1st offense, DUI 2nd offense and sometimes when someone is facing a super drunk charge. Impaired driving is taken very serious by all local prosecutors, so do not face this charge alone!

"Great Lawyers who get good results. Do not hire another lawyer without calling this law firm first. Trust me, I've dealt with several other lawyers and they charged me 10k and got me nothing. When I talked to Shawn he put me at ease and kept me informed every step of the way. He guided me through the process every single step. I will use him and this office again if I am ever facing another criminal charge."
