I recently worked with a client who was charged with Operating While Intoxicated and Open Intox in Washtenaw County. After a careful examination of the evidence, I strongly advised my client to set the matter for trial, because there were major issues with the chemical test results and the lack of operation. In the end my client decided not to pursue a trial, but our hard work paid off in the end when the prosecutor decided to dismiss both charges, and allow my client to accept responsibility to a reduced charge, which will allow my client to keep his driver's license, and receive a lighter sentence.
Although going to trial is up to the client, I will always advise my client to go to trial if I believe they have a winnable case. Ultimately I support any decision they make, but I put them in the best position to go to trial or use the leverage I've created to receive the best outcome.
