License Reinstatement FAQs
If you’re trying to get your license back in Michigan, here’s what you need to know before you begin.
How soon can I apply for license reinstatement after a DUI?
In Michigan, you typically must wait one year after a first revocation. For a second revocation, the wait is often five years. But the timeline varies—contact us early to assess your eligibility.
What is a DAAD hearing?
The Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD) oversees license restoration hearings. These are formal, high-stakes hearings where preparation and strong documentation are crucial to success.
What evidence do I need for a license appeal?
You’ll need a substance abuse evaluation, letters of support, proof of sobriety, and possibly interlock compliance data. We help you gather & present it all correctly.
Can I handle this appeal without a lawyer?
You can—but your chances improve dramatically with experienced representation. One misstep can delay reinstatement by a year or more. We help you avoid that risk.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
We review the decision and advise next steps. In many cases, we can correct weaknesses in the application and refile successfully after the mandatory waiting period.
