What Should I Know Before Calling a License Appeal Attorney?

If you have lost your Michigan Driver’s License due to drunk driving convictions, breath tests refusals, medical reasons or even point accumulation, you’re in a state of panic and frustration. How are you supposed to get to work or school?  How can you take care of your children?  Get to medical appointments?  And if you do drive, will police take you to jail during a pandemic?

When a person loses their license, they understandably seek assistance from the legal community. But, finding an experienced, dedicated and respected driver’s license appeals attorney is tough. When you do connect with a reputable driver’s license restoration attorney, you’re often scrambling to make sure you ask all the right questions:

“When am I eligible for a license appeal?”

“What do I have to do to earn a full, or restricted, license?”

“Do you specialize in my type of license appeal?”

“Do you handle all license appeals (revocation appeals, medical appeals, etc.), or just refusal hearings?”

“Do you regularly practice in front of the Secretary of State hearing judges who will decide my case?”
