Driver's License Lawyers in Sterling Heights, Michigan
If your Michigan driver's license has been suspended or restricted, you are likely facing serious consequences and tough decisions. No matter how logical it seems that your ability to drive and be a productive citizen should take priority over what seem like arbitrary penalties, you may feel you are up against a legal brick wall.
Without a lawyer who fully understands the system for sentencing and appeals, it is extremely challenging for anyone in Michigan to recover driving privileges — even a limited license to get back and forth to work. We know how to navigate the government systems that control reinstatement of your driver's license. Please contact us for a free consultation today.
One major complicating factor in this process is that judges do not have control over the driver's license suspension or restrictions resulting from your original case, which may involve entirely separate penalties for offenses such as:
- OWI (impaired, intoxicated or drunk driving)
- Driving while your license is suspended
- Drug possession or other drug crimes
- Failure to resolve traffic tickets or pay court-assessed fines
Pursuing Appeals and Modifications to Restore Your Driver's License
Driver's license suspensions and restrictions are handled by a subsidiary of the Michigan Secretary of State, rather than any local or state court. To effectively pursue any type of driver's license restoration, you need an attorney capable of handling the matter from beginning to end, taking available actions such as:
- An appeal in your local circuit court, where we can present evidence in your favor, including an explanation of your needs and testimony of psychiatrists or other resources
- Legally viable attempts to obtain a modification of terms for your suspension — typically targeted at obtaining a restricted license for work or other important obligations
