Too many people make the mistake of assuming there is nothing they can do after being charged with a crime in Michigan. The reality is that the decisions made in the first hours and days after an arrest can have a major impact on the outcome of a case.

Criminal charges can affect:
• Your freedom
• Your job and professional license
• Your driver’s license
• Your reputation
• Your future opportunities

Whether the case involves OWI, drug charges, assault allegations, theft offenses, or other criminal accusations, understanding your rights matters.

Every case has facts, defenses, and legal procedures that deserve careful review — and rushing to plead guilty is not always the best option.

If you are facing criminal charges in Monroe County, MI, contact KN Legal to discuss your rights and legal options before making decisions that could impact your future.

Many drivers do not realize there is a major legal difference between OWI, OWVI, and “Super Drunk” charges in Michigan.

🚔 OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) generally means a driver’s blood alcohol level is .08 or higher or that alcohol/drugs substantially affected their ability to drive.

🚔 OWVI (Operating While Visibly Impaired) is a lesser offense, but still carries serious consequences including fines, points, and possible license restrictions.

🚔 “Super Drunk” charges apply when a driver’s BAC is .17 or higher and can lead to enhanced penalties, longer license suspensions, mandatory treatment programs, and increased costs.

Even a first offense can impact:
• Your driver’s license
• Employment opportunities
• Insurance rates
• Professional licensing
• Your criminal record

Michigan OWI laws are complex, and the outcome of a case can have long-term consequences long after the traffic stop is over.

Not every custody issue can wait weeks or months for a regular court hearing.

In serious situations, a parent may need to file what is known as an Emergency Custody Motion.

These requests are typically reserved for urgent concerns involving a child’s safety or wellbeing, such as:
• Allegations of abuse or neglect
• Substance abuse concerns
• Threats of parental kidnapping or leaving the state
• Dangerous living conditions
• Immediate risks to the child’s physical or emotional health

Emergency custody matters move quickly and often involve high emotions and complex legal standards. Courts do not grant emergency orders lightly — strong evidence and proper legal procedures are critical.

When a child’s safety is at stake, understanding your legal options matters. We're here to help!
