In order to have your driver's license reinstated in Michigan, you must request a hearing before the Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD) of the Michigan Secretary of State. If your license was suspended or revoked because of multiple DUI/OWI or drug-related offenses, the examiner in charge of the hearing will assume that you have a problem with alcohol or drugs. It is your burden to convince the examiner that you are now sober and that you will not pose a significant risk if you are back behind the wheel.

Proving Your Sobriety

At the DAAD hearing, the examiner will look for:

• evidence that your use of alcohol or drugs is now under control
• evidence that you are now motivated and able to follow the law as you drive
• evidence that the risk of a relapse on your part is small.

The Michigan driver's license restoration attorneys at Grabel & Associates have represented hundreds of clients at DAAD/DLAD hearings. We offer a free initial consultation: contact one of our lawyers today to find out how we can help you succeed the first time around!

Michigan drivers can get only one DAAD hearing per year; in other words, if you are unsuccessful in proving your case at a hearing, you will have to wait a whole year before you get to try again. That is why it is crucial to prepare as thoroughly as possible for your hearing. The attorneys at Grabel & Associates can help you prepare to testify effectively and help you gather and present all the additional evidence required for license restoration (such as letters of recommendation, a 10-panel drug screen, and a substance abuse evaluation). A Grabel & Associates attorney can guide you through the process and ensure that you get your driver's license reinstated, and get you back on the road.
