Bad Axe, MI DUI and OWI Law Firms & Lawyers

You should have a hearing. It will be more expensive, more tedious and more paperwork than last time. You have to do everything you did last time, prove that you still have not drank since you got your restricted license. New substance abuse assessment, get your final report from interlock company, get drug test, letters in support of sobriety as well as letters stating you have only driven within your restrictions. The Secretary of State will review your previously submitted documents and you need to get a copy of everything they have. They will compare it to your new documents. Most people don't remember what they said last time and it is important to be consistent with your new paperwork. It will be more expensive than last time, if you have representation. A good attorney will obtain your previously submitted documents and make certain that you know what you said and that your next set of documents are consistent, because if you say something different than you said in 2006, you will probably be denied. Sorry, but I have done hundreds of these and I know that a 2nd time around can be harder than the first time, due to having to make certain you know what you told them when you received your first restricted license. They will be suspicious that you have not been in before and will think you have been drinking, so letters in support of sobriety have to be very good.

Get an attorney. The penalties will be for the charge plead to. There is more information required to answer your question definitively. Call my office with details and for an appointment.

I would recommend pleading not guilty until an attorney can at least review the police report. Just having the odor of alcohol does not mean you are DUI. What court are you supposed to appear in?
