Appealing a Drunk Driving Conviction in Michigan

Answer: Yes. In cases that are misdemeanors that are handled in the district court, an appeal would be available to a circuit court, and if it's a felony case or a case that's handled in the circuit court, then the appeal would be to the Michigan court of appeals. There are different timelines on things as far as how much time there is for appealing, and if it's a jury trial versus a plea situation there are different rules on that. And I would always recommend people to, if they're going to appeal, to look to somebody that does appellant work to make sure that those rights are taken care of.
