License Restoration Lawyer - Paul J. Tafelski

Paul J. Tafelski Season 3 Episode 373

From Paul J. Tafelski, Michigan Defense Law – In this episode, we discuss the important role of a "License Restoration Lawyer" and the detailed process of restoring your driving privileges in Michigan after a license suspension or revocation. We explore how losing your license can disrupt your life, making it difficult to get to work, attend school, or manage everyday responsibilities. Whether your license was revoked due to multiple OWI convictions or suspended due to accumulating traffic offenses, this podcast sheds light on the steps you need to take to get back on the road.

Our conversation dives deep into the legal processes handled by the Secretary of State Drivers License Appeal Division. We explain the differences between license suspension and revocation and the necessary steps to apply for a reinstatement hearing. At this hearing, you will appear before the Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight, where a hearing officer will determine whether you are eligible to regain your driving privileges. We also outline the importance of providing strong evidence that demonstrates sobriety and compliance with Michigan’s laws.

To increase your chances of a successful license restoration, we highlight the critical importance of substance abuse evaluations, including tests such as the Addiction Severity Index, the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST), and the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI). Additionally, a 12-panel urinalysis drug test is often required, along with supporting documents and testimony from people close to you, confirming your commitment to sobriety. This evidence helps prove to the hearing officer that you are safe to return to driving.

If you’re facing a license suspension or revocation, or need help navigating the complex license restoration process, Paul J. Tafelski and the team at Michigan Defense Law are here to assist.
