Let's face it, there aren't too many Michigan attorneys who specialize in driver's license appeals. Most attorneys shy away from the practice area altogether. Many attorneys "dabble" in license cases, but are not specialists and thus do not devote the necessary resources, training and education to this very important practice area.
And some criminal defense attorneys say they handle license cases, but they haven't conducted a license appeal hearing in years and cannot point to any objective results showing their experience or success.The Geherin Law Group, PLLC handles over 50 license appeals hearings each year, on average.

Services
Attorneys are often "rated" by their clients online, in directories ranging from Avvo.com, to Justia, to Yelp, to many other social medial platforms.
Likewise, attorneys might be evaluated by their peers, in periodic reviews such as Super Lawyers, Leading Lawyers, and Detroit Business Magazines.
However, one of the oldest and most traditional review systems for attorneys is Martindale-Hubbell, which has been using peer, judicial and client reviews to "rate" attorneys for the past 130 years.
The highest rating an attorney can receive is AV-Preeminent, which is only given to attorneys who are ranked at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal expertise, communication skills, and ethical standards by their peers.

If you have been convicted of multiple drunk driving or substance abuse cases, especially in a short period of time, your Michigan license has likely been revoked.
This means you must apply for the reinstatement of your license, and must jump through several "hoops" to have a chance for its return.
For the majority of cases, this application process goes through the Michigan Secretary of State, not through the courts.
This means you are subject to all of Lansing's red tape and regulations.
Specifically, most of these hearings are conducted by and through the Michigan Secretary of State's Administrative Hearing Section (AHS), previously known as the Driver's Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD).

Every Michigan driver's license holder "impliedly consents" to have his/her breath, blood or urine tested upon reasonable request of a peace officer during an OWI investigation.
If you refuse a police officer's request for a chemical test, your license may be automatically suspended for one year.
This is called an "Implied Consent Refusal, " and your prompt response to this allegation is crucial.
We strongly suggest you call us (or another law firm) immediately after a refusal allegation so that you do not miss important deadlines.

After years of legislative battles; starts and stops; teases and seismic changes in criminal expungement laws, it appears Michigan will finally permit expungement of a first-offense OWI conviction.
The consequences of a criminal conviction, including an OWI misdemeanor, can be both long-lasting and life-altering.
Even a "traffic" offense like DUI/OWI can result in loss of employment or inability to find a job; weapon permit prohibition; inability to travel to certain countries, including Canada; and-of course-public embarrassment.
