Detroit Driver’s License Restoration Attorney

If your Michigan driver’s license has been suspended or revoked, your daily life can be dramatically impacted. Losing your driver’s license puts you in a very difficult situation. Do you drive to work, and risk being arrested, or do you spend your hard-earned money on cabs and Ubers?

There are many reasons someone can find themselves suspended, denied, or revoked, and unable to drive. From drunk driving or drug convictions to failure to pay tickets, or refusing a breathalyzer, many people find themselves in this position.

The State of Michigan has an appeals process that can help you obtain your driver’s license and regain control over your life. Through the Driver’s License Appeals Division (DLAD), you can request a hearing to argue for the return of your driving privileges upon determining that you’re eligible. You need an experienced, hard-working attorney on your side to guide you through this process and successfully handle the hearing.

Detroit Drug Crimes Attorney

Metro Detroit Drug Crimes AttorneyWhether you’re charged with simple misdemeanor possession or a more serious delivery/manufacture felony drug crime, the Court process can be daunting. The State of Michigan has been cracking down on everyone from drug dealers to personal users, so it’s important to put a plan in place before you enter a Courtroom.

Most of the time with delivery/manufacture charges, Prosecutors take several weeks to issue charges. The Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory must test and confirm the presence of the suspected drug before you can be charged. This waiting period is vital, and the case can be won or lost during this time. It’s important to always be proactive and have an attorney on your side well in advance of charges being issued.
