Romulus Super Drunk Reduced – 34th District Court DUI Lawyer
Romulus Super Drunk Driving Charge Reduced — Client Avoids Jail and Saves Driver’s License
Being arrested for drunk driving in Michigan can turn your life upside down overnight. The consequences of a conviction can include jail time, expensive fines, probation, increased insurance rates, and the loss of your driver’s license. Those consequences become even more serious when a person is charged with Michigan’s “Super Drunk” or High BAC offense.
Recently, Aaron J. Boria successfully represented a client charged with multiple offenses in the 34th District Court, including:
- Operating While Intoxicated – High BAC (“Super Drunk”)
- Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)
- No Proof of Insurance
Despite the serious allegations, attorney Aaron J. Boria was able to negotiate a result that kept the client out of jail, protected the client’s driver’s license, and resulted in multiple charges being dismissed or reduced.
Charged With Super Drunk Driving in Romulus, Michigan
Michigan’s “Super Drunk” law applies when a driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) is .17 or higher — more than twice the legal limit.
A High BAC or “Super Drunk” conviction in Michigan can carry severe penalties, including:
- Up to 180 days in jail
- Thousands of dollars in fines and costs
- Alcohol treatment and education
- One-year driver’s license suspension
- Restricted driving privileges only after a hard suspension period and an interlock device
- 6 points added to a driving record
- Increased insurance costs are likely
In this case, the client was accused of pulling out of a driveway in Romulus and striking another vehicle. Police alleged the client attempted to leave the scene and also did not have proof of insurance at the time of the incident.
The client was arrested and taken to jail following the accident.
Drunk Driving Charges Reduced in the 34th District Court
After being retained, attorney Aaron J. Boria immediately began working to minimize the damage and protect the client’s future.
Through negotiations and advocacy in the 34th District Court, we were able to:
- Get two charges dismissed
- Obtain a reduction from Super Drunk / High BAC to Impaired Driving
- Avoid jail time
- Protect the client’s driving privileges and avoid any suspension
- Reduce the financial impact of the case by saving the client hundreds of dollars in fines
Reducing a High BAC charge to Impaired Driving is a significant result, especially in a case involving an accident and allegations of leaving the scene. Many judges would call this a double reduction.
Avoiding Jail Time for a Michigan DUI
At sentencing, attorney Aaron J. Boria argued on the client’s behalf and presented mitigating factors to the court.
As a result, the judge agreed not to impose any jail sentence.
Instead, the client received probation with community service hours, alcohol education and testing.
Most importantly, the client avoided a lengthy license suspension and preserved the ability to continue driving.
For many people facing a drunk driving charge in Michigan, protecting a driver’s license is critical for maintaining employment, supporting family obligations, and continuing everyday life.

In this case, we were able to prevent our client from being convicted of the Hit and Run offense.
