MESSAGE FROM MR. SAWYER
I have been brought up with a commitment to legal professionalism that has run through my family.

Winning Defense
More recently (the past 25 years), we have developed a sub-specialty of defending drinking driving (OWI/DUI) cases. The penalties for this crime have dramatically increased over the last number of years. As a direct result of having achieved outstanding results for clients in this area, I have been asked to teach and have taught attorneys statewide on how to handle drunk driving cases. In this context, I have been on the faculty of The Institute of Continuing Legal Education (ICLE) which is an educational provider sponsored by the State Bar of Michigan. I have also been a member of the National College for DUI Defense and Michigan Association of OWI Attorneys, and other related organizations. Mr. Sawyer has also been a guest speaker on TV, radio, law schools, and before professional organizations on the subjects of personal injury litigation and drinking-driving defense.
