Sobriety Requirements to win a Michigan Driver's License Reinstatement

To be candid, many people try to fabricate sobriety during the course of applying for their Michigan driver's license restoration hearing. At the same time, an honest person who admits to consuming a single sip of champagne on New Year's Eve within 12 months of the license restoration hearing is automatically DENIED. This even includes someone who admits to consuming only nonalcoholic beer.

If you continue to consume alcohol but apply to restore your Michigan driving privileges, you may face harsher ramifications down the road. You are required to present proof that you are completely sober to the Michigan drivers license appeal division hearing officer, and you will be required to testify under oath that you are completely abstinent from all alcoholic beverages. Abstinence is defined as "to refrain completely from consuming any amount of any type of alcoholic beverage, including, but not limited to, nonalcoholic beer, or controlled substance, except a controlled substance . . . prescribed by a licensed health professional."

If you testify falsely under oath that you have completely refrained from consuming any alcohol, the Michigan DLAD hearing officers will use this against you for years. These credibility issues can make a Michigan driver's license restoration process a nightmare.

IMPORTANT:If you tell us that you are consuming alcohol and hope that we will turn a blind eye, be forewarned: We cannot ethically represent you. We are not permitted by the ethical rules governing Michigan attorneys to permit perjured testimony. Although we can assist a person who is not completely sober in establishing a track record of sobriety, and we can represent someone who repeatedly lies to us, we cannot ethically permit perjured testimony.
