In Michigan Attorney’s Come a Dime a Dozen
In Michigan, you can find an attorney on just about any corner. Especially in southeast Michigan, Detroit, Dearborn, Southgate, Westland, Livonia, etc.
I’ve been in business for a longtime, twenty five plus years and I can tell you that integrity and trust between attorney and client is key. I’ll give you a brief example. When someone comes to me to get their drivers license restored, the restoration of their license is going to be based on how they show up in front of the judge. When they come to me for help, they are putting their trust in me that I will make sure they are prepared. Set up a role playing scenario that helps them practice what they will need to say, act and think. When were done they go in the court with confidence.
I have a 90%+ success rate for clients seeking to restore their drivers license. They trust me to do the best by them and I deliver.
Understanding the Michigan Drivers License Restoration Process

Now remember, this is one of the things that sets me a part from any other attorney is that I help prepare you for you day in court to get your license back.
Is A Fast Divorce Possible In Michigan?
Here’s a divorce question I get a lot. Is there anything such as a Fast Divorce?
For a Michigan Divorce we have what’s called a statutory waiting period. The statutory waiting period can be waived. Now there are about half of the judges in downtown Detroit that will not waive the statutory waiting period under just about any circumstance, but half will. So occasionally we can go in early. We have to say some magic words on the record and half the judges will waive that time period.
So yes it’s possible that we could significantly shorten it. But, for instance if the divorce is without children there’s a sixty day waiting period, but there’s a twenty-one day period wherein the opponent has the opportunity to file an answer. So I really couldn’t get a judgment on divorce in those twenty-one days anyway. So it’s rare that somebody comes to me and says hey I need to get divorced right away. I did have one client that was moving to England and they needed to speed it up. So we were able to draft up all the paperwork ahead of time and get testimony from the other side. So there are ways that we can accommodate people if they had such a situation.
Occasionally I’ll get service people that are home for the holidays but are going back to Afganistan let’s say at the first of the year. Well obviously they can’t wait around for the sixty-days or the six months to be up. So in that situation I can go to the judge and ask could you please preserve testimony. We’ll come in early, say the magic words early but not have them be effective until after the waiting periods over with and most judges will probably be accommodating of that situation.

Drivers License Restoration History
Drivers license restoration has evolved. It used to be if you lost your license because of a DUI or a drunk driving charge in one state or your license was suspended it was no problem. So years ago people would do things like lose their license here in Michigan and would go down to Ohio or another state and get a license there and continue driving, because Ohio and Michigan’s computer systems weren’t hooked up. They didn’t know about each other, therefore they weren’t “communicating.” But now that’s all changed. Now the databases of all fifty states are connected, they talk so to speak. So there’s not any place you can go anymore and get a license there. So I get clients from all over the country, say for instance Florida. For example someone may have moved down to Florida and try to get their license. Only to find out they can’t because Florida says you’ve got to clear it up things with Michigan first. So that means they have to come back here and have a hearing.
That’s how it works.
Now the cost of going from a suspended license to restored for my clients is $1200. I know with the economy here in Michigan some people are working and some are not, but for my track record and experience and compared to what my counter part are charging in places such as Oakland County, that’s a fair rate.
Keep this in mind as well. In the process of getting your license back and driving privilege restored my advice is to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or some program that is similar. This shows the courts that you understand your mistake and are showing initiative to correct you drinking issues.
