Driver's License Restoration
For DUI drivers, license restoration in Michigan is not impossible. To restore your drivers license in Michigan, you will need to prove by clear and convincing evidence that any substance abuse/dependency problem is under control and likely to remain under control; that there is a low or minimal risk of repeating prior abusive behavior relative to alcohol or drugs; that here is a low or minimal risk of driving while impaired or intoxicated; and that the Petitioner has maintained a period of abstinence consistent for a period of usually at least one year. Reinstating a drivers license in Michigan will require you to seek a hearing at the Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD). Usually you are only allowed one hearing per year-meaning that how you use your time and present your evidence at the hearing is important, and choosing a skilled and experienced attorney to assist you in that endeavor is just as important.
