Experienced Michigan Lawyer

The Scales of Justice Tip Only When Weighed by the Truth

Douglas J. Callahan, Attorney at Law

REAL PROPERTY LAW

Please allow me to advise you on all aspects of Real Property Law and let my

27 Years a a Municipal Municipal Attorney be of benefit when you interact with any level of State and Local or federal government.

ZONING LAW

I have been integrally involved in hundreds of zoning decisions by municipalities using The You Approach to Zoning. I contrived this short book with the intent of putting lawyers in the shoes of Zoning Administrators and City Council, Township Boards and County Commissions. The very last thing that a Project Manager wants is to get hung up on simple requests of officials to delay the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

In pursuit of a Master’s Degree in Environmental Law, I studied the subject at Michigan State University and the University of Exeter, England.

Riparian rights have occupied my time for decades. The right to wharf out and all of its accompanying rights and duties are of paramount to owners of property on lakes.

DEFENSE OF OWI FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD

With a background as a former prosecutor handling OWI cases, I bring a unique perspective to criminal defense, particularly drunk during matters. My 27 years of experience in prosecuting Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated have fueled my commitment to ensuring that every individual receives fair representation and an equal chance at justice in the legal system. Just as a prosecutor, I do my best to ensure that justice is done.

If you have been charged or are about to be charged with OWI First, Second or Third, text your lawyer before talking to anyone about your case. My personal text message is open to the public (810) 268-8818.

The first thing to recognize is that you have a problem. But do not pour your soul on this until we decide if you should attend some alcohol counseling. In my hundreds of such cases I never encountered a judge or prosecutor who held it against a Client to attend insurance or AA counseling.

I was invited to speak to a group of judges, defense lawyers and prosecutors on the subject of jury trials in OWI Cases. If it looks like we will try the case to completion with a jury of your peers, I will tell you what I told them to know about OWI Jury Trials.

Let my twenty-six years of experience as a former City Attorney help you with your zoning and defense of OWI 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
