Michigan OWI Lawyer Patrick Barone

If you were recently charged with OWI in Michigan, you most likely have a lot of questions: Will you go to jail? Can you still drive? Do you need a lawyer? What happens next? Although these are just a few of the things you may be asking yourself, the most important thing you need to know is that being arrested for OWI does not necessarily mean you will be convicted. In fact, a skilled defense attorney may be able to reduce or eliminate the charges altogether.

With over a decade of experience handling OWI cases like yours, attorney Patrick Barone is a true expert in drunk driving defense. After earning a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology at Oakland University, he attended Michigan State University Law School (previously known as the Detroit College of Law) and, in 1991, was awarded his Juris Doctor.

Mr. Barone began focusing on OWI law in early 1992. Since that time, he has written two books on defense strategies for drunk driving cases, and published numerous articles in some of the country’s most prestigious legal journals. He is the current Executive Editor for DWI Journal: Law & Science, a national publication for other OWI attorneys.

In addition to his research, attorney Patrick Barone also teaches future law practitioners at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. His “Drunk Driving Law and Practice” course focuses on the science of OWI law, addressing topics such as chemical testing and alcohol metabolism.

A member of professional organizations such as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the Michigan Bar Association, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, Mr. Barone is an active participant in a National DUI list group. As one of only three moderators appointed for the Michigan DUI list serve, Mr. Barone works with colleagues across the nation to remain informed about recent OWI laws and defense techniques.

Attorney Patrick Barone is a certified field sobriety test instructor. He is also one of the few attorneys to be deemed competent on the DataMaster (the breath testing device used in Michigan). This extensive training provides a huge advantage for his clients, as he is familiar with the same tactics and techniques employed by law enforcement.

When you hire Mr. Barone, you put years of OWI defense knowledge to work for you, and having an experienced defense attorney can often increase your chances of winning your case. Contact Barone Defense Firm today for your free consultation.
