Davison Drunk Driving Lawyers

Davison Legal Associates: License restoration can take two forms. In the first case, a person who has lost their license can challenge the loss by filing an action in the circuit court. In these situations, a circuit court judge has the authority to decide whether to deny their request, fully restore their license, or reinstate their license with restricted driving privileges. In the second situation (where most license restoration cases fall), a person appeals the revocation of their license by petitioning the Secretary of State drivers' license appeal division (DLAD) and by appearing before an administrative law judge to make their case for having their license restored. The Secretary of State establishes strict guidelines on when a person is eligible to apply for an appeal and it is often limited to only once per year. In many drunk driving cases, an appeal cannot be filed for at least 1 to 5 years.
Rex C. Anderson: Being convicted of a crime can carry a lasting social stigma as well as serious legal consequences. In some states, the laws governing crimes have become more rigid, and the punishment for a conviction can often be quite severe. Because of this, it is extremely important that you entrust your case to an attorney with a strong history of winning criminal cases. Doing so is the best way to keep yourself out of jail, or even prison.
