Driving is a privilege, not a right (although in Michigan, with its lack of adequate public transportation and often times lengthy commutes, many would argue that driving is absolutely necessary and therefore a right). When someone loses their driving privileges, it can be quite difficult to get your license back.

The Secretary of State has general jurisdiction over the issuance and regulation of driver's licenses in the State of Michigan. The hearing officers that work for the Driver License Appeal Division are many times reluctant to restore your driving privileges. Often times, the hearing officers will deny your first request, and then you most likely must wait an additional year before you are eligible for another hearing.

The laws regarding the restoration of driving privileges are quite confusing, and the hearing can be intimidating. To have the best possible chance of getting your license restored the first time, you need an attorney that understands the laws and procedures.
