Premier DUI-Criminal Defense Attorney Daniel Hajji

Never just plead guilty until you have explored all of your options with an experienced Michigan Criminal Defense Attorney.

It isn't easy finding yourself charged or arrested for drug use / drug delivery, domestic violence, assault, battery, theft, probation violation, traffic offenses such as DWLS or the notorious Drunk Driving "DUI", "OWI", "DWI", "OUIL") in Michigan; but is also just as stressful finding a good criminal and DUI defense attorney to help you.

Attorney Daniel Hajji has been representing clients throughout the state of Michigan, including Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, Wayne, Washtenaw County and surrounding Metro-Detroit areas.

We understand what it takes to protect and defend your rights by evaluating the facts, statutes, rules, procedures and caselaw. Preparing a good defense from the start can make your case stronger while at the same time weakening the Prosecutor's case. A well-prepared and investigated case from a good criminal defense or DUI defense attorney can lead to a reduction in the charge against you or having it dropped all together.

In many criminal/DUI cases, people wrongly assume that just because they were arrested they are automatically guilty. Not true. By way of example, just because someone had something to drink and later arrested for a OWI/DUI does not automatically entail they're guilty of operating while intoxicated. It is not illegal to drink and drive in Michigan. In other words, the Prosecution must prove (with evidence) beyond a reasonable doubt that your Blood alcohol level (BAC) was over the legal limit "at the time" when you were arrested. The objective in almost every DUI or criminal case is to cast doubt on the Prosecution's case. Further, more often than not, police officer may form incorrect opinions of your sobriety as well as make mistakes of the scientific and administrative methods of testing your BAC (blood alcohol level). Furthermore, the machines (datamaster) used to test human BAC levels themselves are not always accurate, properly administered or caliberated.

Whether your case involves drunk driving, criminal misdemeanor or felony charge, an experienced Defense Attorney should always gather and study the evidence against you, and put each piece of evidence to the test.

Attorney Daniel Hajji and his staff work hard to maintain the highest level of knowledge in the areas of Criminal Defense and DUI laws. Daniel Hajji is a member of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and continues his legal knowledge through courses, seminars and workshops. We strive to keep up with the ever-changing criminal and drunk driving statutes (laws) in Michigan, including legislative bills and court opinions which in turn empowers us with the latest information, most effective techniques, and most efficient methods of protecting your rights.

In most cases, we can resolve a matter without going to trial, perhaps through getting the charge withdrawn or through a favorable plea bargain reduced to a lower charge. Always remember, just because you were arrested for a crime does not mean you are guilty. Everyone is presumed innocent. We whole heartedly believe in this notion and take on every case with that premonition.   

Getting our clients good results is the measure of our success. Attorney Daniel Hajji's goal is to ensure that the value his clients receive from his services is always exceptional.

• Most every Michigan DUI charge starts with basically 3 questions:
  
     1. Is the evidence against you legal or was it obtained in violation of your rights.
     2. If it was legally obtained, will the evidence prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to a Michigan jury?
     3. Did the police follow law, rules and administrative procedures, and if not, will such evidence be tossed out or the case dismissed?
  
  In order for these questions to be answered, a good dui lawyer will gather police reports, patrol car video recordings, booking room video, data master logs, police dispatch records, blood vile (if blood was taken).
  
  All of the questions above involve a thorough analysis of why you were stopped by the police from the get-go. In other words, were you driving badly? If not, then you need to fight on the basis of the stop. If the Judge (never jury) decides in your favor by finding that the ‘stop’ was not good, then it is likely that your case will be dismissed due to a violation of your constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures (4th Amendment to the U.S. and Michigan Constitution).
  
  Most police officers use weaving, swerving, speeding, making a wide turn as their basis for pulling you over (aka "stop"). However, this can be challenged by gathering evidence on your own through police reports, video recordings from the patrol car and the booking room, datamaster logs to ensure the machine was caliberated and maintained properly and the 15 minute rule was 'really' observed. If you simply go into Court without reviewing the evidence against you and other information available, you or your lawyer will be making an informed decision. Attorney Daniel Hajji will demand this material immediately after being retained.
  
  Many people wrongly assume that because they had something to drink, and because they were arrested for a OWI/DUI, then they’re guilty. Wrong! It is not illegal to drink and drive in MI. The police officer may have formed incorrect opinions of your sobriety. Also, the scientific and administrative methods of testing your BAC (blood alcohol level) are not always accurate or properly administered. Attorney Daniel Hajji can study all of the evidence against you, and put each piece of evidence to the test to weaken the prosecutor’s case.
  
  One example is the breath or blood test which is more of an “objective” measure of impairment, since it does not take the officer’s perceptions into account. However, mistakes the officer makes when giving you the test, and errors or inaccuracies of the machine itself, can both lead to erroneous results. The other types of evidence are “subjective” in nature, and do rely on the perceptions, memory, and opinions of the police officer. Because the police make mistakes - give you the wrong instructions, form false conclusions, and fail to accurately remember details – Attorney Daniel Hajji can often effectively challenge their testimony against you and knows where to look and what to look for to thoroughly challenge the evidence against you.
