DUI Charges in Southfield 46th District Court - Judge Shelia R. Johnson, William J. Richards & Debra Nance
If you've been charged with Southfield Michigan with a DUI offense, and blood was drawn, the results are headed to the Michigan State Police Forensic Science Division in Lansing, Michigan. Once the sample is in Lansing, it will be tested using the gas chromatography method.
In my experience handling DUI cases in Southfield, the test results could take up to 6 months, sometimes even a full year. This would be the case with a misdemeanor DUI cases; I've seen shorter times on felony DUI cases in Michigan due to the severity of the offense.
There are some courts in Michigan that will charge you with a DUI despite the results not being ready. In situations like this, you should DEMAND to go to trial immediately, and force the prosecutor to produce those results; if they are backed up, it's not your problem - force the prosecutor to go to trial with half a bag of evidence.
