The good news is that you are able to reinstate your driver’s license within one to five years from your last OWI conviction.
The not-so-good news is that the Michigan driver’s license restoration process isn’t simple; it involves lots of detailed paperwork, multiple letters of support, a lab report, and a hearing with the Secretary of State. Any errors in your application can result in denial, and you won’t be able to reapply for restoration for one year. However, with an experienced and strategic driver’s license restoration attorney on your side, your odds of regaining your driving rights significantly improves.
How to get your driver’s license reinstated in Michigan
In this video, attorney Mark Caldwell explains the Michigan driver’s license restoration process and the legal strategy he’s developed to win 100’s of cases for his clients.
Mark Caldwell:
“Typically someone will call me and say that they’ve been sober for 20 years and they’re irritated that the process is what the process is, but it is what it is – just have to deal with it. At least you have someone knowledgeable that’s done hundreds of these that can guide you through it and get your license back.
Typically, it takes about from the date I’m hired to the date we actually get the notice from the Secretary of State that we run the hearing. On average, it typically takes around 5 to 6 months.
The things you need to prepare for your driver’s license restoration would be typically a getting a copy of your driving record, and possibly getting a criminal history, because those questions will be brought up at the hearing.
And then having a group of friends and family, a lot of people have difficulties finding 5 to 10 individuals that will draft letters. However, if we don’t have those letters, we’re going to lose the hearing. The letters are very important. They’re basically your witnesses, to your sobriety and without those witnesses, we won’t win your hearing.
The person that does my assessments, is somebody that’s been doing it more than anyone else in West Michigan. And she’s been doing my assessments for almost 20 years now, and she does all the other top attorneys assessments.
She’s much better. She’s more thorough. The other assessors kind of just rush through it. They just fill out the form which is required by the Secretary of State. They don’t take the additional time to draft the narrative and to get to really know you. And she does,
I am different than other attorneys because I have a lot more experience than most other attorneys do. Some attorneys do a little bit of this on the side. I do mostly drunk driving and driver’s license restorations. And those two go hand in hand. So you’re getting somebody that specializes in it instead of somebody that does a couple of them on the side.
I would say the most important component of a driver’s license restoration is the ability to take direction. Because I’m going to give you two mock interviews. And if you can’t take direction and learn from the mock interviews, then we’re probably not going to be successful.”
