Need Driver's License Reinstatement?

Was your license revoked for DUI?

Are you looking for driver’s license reinstatement in Michigan?

An Ignition Interlock (technically known as a “BAIID” for Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device) is a breath alcohol analyzer, with computer logic and an internal memory. It connects with a motor vehicle’s ignition and other control systems. The BAIID measures the driver’s bodily alcohol content [BAC], and keeps the vehicle from starting if the BAC is .025 or higher.

“When does a driver have to get a BAIID device installed?”
“What are the sanctions for violating the device?”
“How can I get the device removed from my vehicle?”
“How much does the device cost?”

Drug Offenses and Driver's License Consequences

Shockingly, most drug offenses have driver’s license consequences, even if they have nothing to do with driving a vehicle.  In fact, simple possession of controlled substances will result in a long-term license suspension unless the offender qualifies and completes a diversion program.  Thus, finding an attorney with knowledge of these diversion programs is imperative to keeping driving privileges.

Driver's License Consequences for Motor Vehicle Offenses

Motor Vehicle Offenses:  Most crimes related to operation of a vehicle also have license consequences.  For example:  Reckless/Careless Driving; Driving While License Suspended; Unlawfully Driving Away (UDAA); Flee/Elude Police; Failure to Yield to Emergency Vehicle; and Moving Violations Causing Injury/Death.  So, having a criminal defense attorney to defend these charges is extremely important to avoid costly license consequences.

Examples of Leaving the Scene of the Accident

A mom is out grocery shopping and bumps the car next to hers. She sees only slight damage to the other car and goes about her day shopping.

A teenage driver hits a mailbox while backing out of a friend’s house and keeps on going.

A professional driving to work in the middle of the night hits a deer or small animal. He stops but goes off to work. Later, he learns that he hit and killed a bicyclist.

These are real examples of cases that Geherin Law Group has defended in the past year.  All of them ended up in charges of “Leaving the Scene of an Accident” (or what is commonly referred to as “Hit and Run.”). These cases ranged from misdemeanor charges to 15-year maximum felony offenses. Each client faced not only driver’s license sanctions, but also a criminal conviction and the real prospect of jail/prison or other loss of freedoms.

Questions from Clients Facing "The Vicious Circle"

Each day, Dan takes calls from clients who are charged with Driving While License Revoked, and are facing “The Vicious Circle.”  They ask these questions:

“What are the courtroom consequences for Driving While License Revoked?”

“Is there any way to defend this charge and prevent the “like” revocation?”

“When will I be eligible to seek restoration of my license and end the “vicious circle?”

Driving While License Revoked First Offense is a misdemeanor offense carrying with it the possibility of 93 days in jail.  While most judges do not impose jail on these offenses—especially for first-offenses—some judges grow fed up with this offense and do jail offenders who should not be on the road.  Second Offenses carry up to one year in jail, and injuring/killing another while revoked is a felony offense.
