The timeline can vary depending on your specific situation, but most Michigan driver’s license restoration cases take several months from the time your petition is filed until a decision is issued. Preparing properly is key—gathering the right documentation, evidence of sobriety, and testimony can help avoid unnecessary delays. With an attorney’s guidance, you can ensure your case is ready the first time, which is critical since denials often require waiting a full year before reapplying.
Yes. Most license restoration cases require a hearing either in person or by video conference. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your sobriety and readiness to drive responsibly. Having an attorney represent you ensures you are fully prepared for the questions you’ll face.
Costs vary depending on the type of case. For license restoration, you can expect filing fees, substance abuse evaluation fees, and any costs related to obtaining documentation. Legal fees depend on the complexity of your case. While hiring an attorney is an investment, it can save you money and time in the long run by improving your chances of success and avoiding repeat filings.
You are not legally required to hire an attorney, but it is strongly recommended. Michigan’s DUI/OUI laws carry serious consequences, including possible jail time, fines, probation, license suspension, and long-term impacts on your record. An experienced DUI attorney can review the evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and fight for the best possible outcome—often reducing penalties or even getting charges dismissed.
The most important step is to contact an attorney right away. Do not discuss your case with anyone other than your lawyer. Preserve any documents you received from law enforcement, and write down everything you remember about the stop and arrest. Timely legal advice can make a major difference in how your case is handled and the outcome you achieve.
Not necessarily. A charge does not automatically mean your license will be revoked. However, depending on the specific charge, prior history, and the outcome of your case, your license could be suspended or revoked. In some cases, you may be eligible for restricted driving privileges. An attorney can help you understand your options and fight to protect your driving rights.
