A DUI charge in Michigan may not be as serious of a crime as other offenses (such as murder, kidnapping, or drug distribution), but a conviction for DUI can carry with it significant penalties. These penalties may include fines, mandatory periods of incarceration, community service, formal supervision by the court, and administrative sanctions such as periods of license suspension.
