OWI Lawyer, Gerald R. Lykins, in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Protecting the Rights of First-Time Offenders
When you have been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) and it's your first offense, you want an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney to protect your rights. The state takes drunk driving charges seriously. Without competent counsel, you risk severe penalties, from the loss of driving privileges to jail time to paying heavy fines and Michigan Driver's Responsibility fees.
At the Law Firm of Gerald R. Lykins, I have over 15 years of experience defending individuals charged with crimes in southwest and central Michigan, including first-time OWI offenders. As a former prosecutor, I understand first-hand how the state handles drunk driving cases, and I will use my knowledge and experience to advance and protect your interests. I also understand the stress and anxiety that comes with an unresolved OWI charge and will work closely with you at all times, advising you of your options and keeping you informed of any developments in your case.
