I live in Sterling Heights but I was driving with my husband on my way to our cottage in Gladwin Michigan when my husband got pulled over for Speeding by a sheriff.  He wasn’t drinking, but I had an open mixed drink of Vodka in the car and almost went to jail for Open Intoxicants in a Motor Vehicle.  Even though I wasn’t driving I found out this Open Intox was not just a ticket but a crime with jail time and also it would have went on my driving record with Michigan Secretary of State and could have hurt my driver’s license.  I cried for the whole weekend.  I wanted to say thank you so much and let everyone know that my lawyer is the greatest attorney in Michigan!  He has everything worked out with the prosecutor before we even went to court, and now I have nothing is on my criminal or driving record, didn’t go to jail and I have no probation.  Up there all my friends say the saying in Gladwin Michigan and up north in general that “you go on vacation, leave on probation” because they want your money, but that was not the case for me because I hired the right lawyer.  You guys were referred very highly by a close family friend, and hiring you Paul was the best decision I could have ever made.  Thank you so much, I will never forget what you did for me or how impressive you were in the courtroom.  When people are coming up to your lawyer in court and asking for his business card because the way he handled himself was so impressive, it makes you feel very comfortable as a client.  You made me feel like everything would be just fine, and it was.

Thank you so much Paul.  You and your law firm deserve the great reputation you have in the community!

I hope an attorney from your law firm can answer this. I was in ferndale michigan outside Boogie Fever and received an open intoxicant fo alcohol in a motor vehicle ticket. WHat are the penalties and fines and costs for open intoxicants for alcohol (beer) in a motor vehicle in michigan? Are there any Michigan drivers license penalties for this ticket?  Will I lose my license? It says its a “misdemeanor”, I thought I could just pay it like a normal traffic ticket but Court said no, I have to go to court in front of a judge, I really am not lookin at jail am I?  Seriously, its jus an open beer…i wasnt drunk driving or caught for dui or anything. Hop your Michigan defense lawyer can help me
