How to Restore Your Michigan Driver’s License After a DUI

Losing your license after a DUI is stressful—but it’s not the end of the road.

In Michigan, a second OWI conviction within seven years leads to automatic license revocation. To get your driving privileges back, you’ll need to go through the driver’s license reinstatement process—a detailed, time-sensitive, and often confusing legal journey.

 

Attorney Dan Geherin, founder of Geherin Law Group in Ann Arbor, has helped hundreds of drivers successfully reinstate their licenses after DUI-related revocations. His experience as a former prosecutor and license appeals attorney gives clients a powerful advantage.

 

Here’s how the reinstatement process works:

• Eligibility Review – Know when you can apply (after a mandatory revocation period).
• DAAD Hearing Preparation – You’ll need documentation showing at least 12 months of sobriety, community support, and a commitment to remaining alcohol-free.
• Substance Use Evaluation – A certified counselor must complete and submit a professional evaluation.
• Letters of Support – At least 3–6 support letters from friends, family, or coworkers are required.
• Hearing Representation – At the hearing, Geherin presents evidence and testimony to demonstrate readiness for reinstatement.
