If I had a DUI in one state 12 years ago and now have another one in a different state, is this considered a 2nd DUI?

Not in Michigan. In Michigan, a OWI 2nd occurs if the convictions are within 7 years. In Michigan 3 OWI's within a lifetime is a felony OWI 3rd. If your second was in Michigan, then you should be charged with a first. Good luck.

Will I be able to get my DUI case overturned?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Not enough information to answer, but probably not. Probable cause can be just about anything: a slight swerve in your driving, driving too fast, driving too slow, headlights out, tail lights out, failure to use a turn indicator.... etc., etc. If he does have a video of the stop that is great and is discoverable evidence. He took pot from you, so he has that as evidence. Also, how did you perform on the field tests?? My advice: get an attorney. DUI cases are very complex and there is a lot at stake. Dont be foolish and try to handle this on your own.

What are the chances of me bringing the 702 form to the DA and them deciding to file the case, even more so since I got another DUI a month later?

This is difficult to answer, some prosecutor's will not review a file after a decision has been made whether to prosecute, or not. However, you are requesting the prosecutor to re-review the file and they may determine that they should file charges, or there may evidence that is obviously unreliable and the decision will remain unchanged. Either way, you need to carefully consider the ramifications of a new prosecution or an additional DUI case, if they file you have thought it through, if they don't then you are truly only dealing with a first offense. You may wish to schedule an appointment with a DUI lawyer to review the facts of the first case and possibly help you with the second.
