Dealing with OWI License Suspensions in Michigan

If you are convicted of operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) in Michigan, your license will likely be suspended. If you have previous OWI convictions on your record, or you have received 12 or more points on your driving record, you may have your license revoked.

This is a difficult burden as it impedes your ability to go to work or school, take care of your family, and complete necessary errands and tasks. It is especially burdensome if you have a job that requires you to drive.

How to Restore Your Driver’s License in Michigan

With a license suspension, your driving privileges are withheld for a set period. After your suspension period is up, you must pay a reinstatement fee to have your license restored. Subsequently, the court may then impose restrictions on your license for an additional length of time.

For example, after a first OWI offense, your license will be suspended for 30 days, and then restricted for a further 150 days. After you have successfully made it through the suspension and restriction periods, completed all associated court-ordered conditions, and paid all reinstatement fees, your full driving privileges will then be restored.

Restricted licenses typically allow an individual to drive to and from:

• Work
• School
• Court-ordered counseling
• Court-ordered alcohol treatment
• Other authorized activities

When your license is revoked, your driving privileges are fully terminated. With OWI license revocations, your license will be revoked for a minimum of one year for a first offense, and a minimum of five years for a subsequent offense.

In order to have your license reinstated after an OWI license revocation, you will need to wait until the revocation period has ended, and then apply for a hearing with the Administrative Hearings Section – these hearings are often referred to as AHS hearings. In some cases, you will be required to install an ignition interlock device on your car as a condition of your license restoration.

The license restoration process can be complicated, and it is important that all aspects are managed correctly and that all paperwork is filed accurately. Failure to do so can delay or jeopardize your license restoration.

You are typically only allowed one AHS hearing per year, and this is your only opportunity to make your case. With so much on the line, turn to the trusted driver's license reinstatement lawyers at Levine & Levine.

Our practice is rooted in a deep understanding of the law and an aggressive approach. Call us at (269) 218-8880 or reach out to us online to discuss your case today.
