OUIL/OWI/UBAL Alcohol Assessment

A Michigan OUIL law was established in 1983, for OUIL in Michigan that requires any person arrested and convicted for any OUIL, alcohol-related driving violation (OUIL/OWI/UBAL) to undergo an alcohol assessment. This OUIL alcohol assessment is completed before a person is sentenced on any violation (OUIL/OWI/UBAL). The alcohol assessment is used to determine if a person has a substance abuse problem, and if so, whether rehabilitation will be of benefit. The defendant is then responsible for paying the cost (usually around $65) of the screening and assessment and all rehabilitative services. OUIL/OWI/UBAL are three specific types of charges in Michigan involving the use of alcohol while driving a car for which you could be arrested and prosecuted. They stand for: Operating Under the Influence of Liquor (OUIL) Operating While Impaired (OWI) Unlawful Blood Alcohol Level (UBAL) To meet with an attorney regarding the specifics of your alcohol related arrest, please contact the firm for a free initial consultation.
