Driver's License Restoration
We appear at all Secretary of State locations throughout Michigan. To order your driving record or for more information, visit a local SOS branch or see www.Michigan.gov/sos.
Introduction
License restoration is one of the most specialized—and growing—areas of law. Look in the telephone book or on the Internet: There are only a handful of lawyers who even attempt to handle this complex yet important area of law. Our firm, in contrast, handles hundreds upon hundreds of license restoration cases, and we have a long and proven track result of restoring licenses for Michigan Drivers.
Every person values and needs a driver’s license. If you have lost yours, call a firm that is experienced in these appeals. If you are simply ineligible, we will honestly tell you. If, however, we can win back your license, perhaps saving your job and your financial future in the process, we will discuss the procedure and how we will skillfully handle your case.
Substance Abuse Revocations
If you have been convicted of multiple drunk driving or substance abuse cases, your license has likely been revoked. This means you must apply for the return of your license, and must jump through several “hoops” to even have a chance for its return. For the grand majority of cases, this application process goes through the Secretary of State, not through the courts. This means you are subject to all of Lansing’s red tape and regulations. Finding an attorney to help this fight can mean the difference between driving again and waiting another grueling year to begin the application process anew.
We will consult with you to outline every step of this complicated process. We will provide you with outlines, forms and referrals to begin the application procedure. We will prepare you for testifying at the hearing. And most importantly, we will appear with you at the hearing and fight until your license is restored.
Breath Test Refusal Suspensions
If you refused an officer’s request for a blood or breath test in a drunk driving arrest, your license may be suspended for one year. This is called an Implied Consent Refusal. We can help you fight this suspension, and can seek restricted privileges (i.e., to/from work) as a worst-case scenario.
Suspensions from Poor Driving
If you have simply accumulated too many points on your driving record from civil infractions, your license may be suspended or revoked. In this scenario, we can help you with a Hardship Appeal or Re-Examination proceeding to gain back your full or restricted driving privileges.
Driving While License Suspended
Frequently, people who lose their license drive anyway, and face Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) charges if stopped by police. Many judges impose jail for this misdemeanor, and repeat offenses can result in loss of your vehicle, increased jail time and fines, and lengthy probation. Also, your license will likely be re-suspended or revoked, and you will be in a perpetually worse situation. Finally, if you injure or kill someone while DWLS, you will face the likely prospect of prison.
If you are charged with DWLS, we can defend you in court and work to reduce, dismiss or negotiate the case to protect your freedom and preserve your driving privileges.
