License Appeal Hearing

Tanya Grillo has helped me a couple times. She is good at this. She maintains a winning record and wont take your money if you don't have a chance. I had a DUI related, revoked License needing reinstated. Tanya made me do the work to be ready. The hearing had a couple small hiccups but she covered ...them and I was able to get the go ahead letter from the State, which is no easy task in Michigan. I highly recommend Tanya Grillo for anyone stuck in the system but willing to make the steps toward something better. This has been a huge blessing for me.

My story in regards to secratary of state michigan

I tried on my own to obtain license was denied I believe the sec of state wants you to spend money through my AA meetings I was referred to Tanya Grillo what I learned through this whole process is to over prepare yourself sign in sheets for AA letters from people who see you and know your life sty...le are most important take this very seriously .so far I got my machine on my truck insurance plates have to take road test . And then go back to sec of state to receive my restricted license right now i have permit.make sure you have birth certificate with ma and pas name on it that is what held me up for two more weeks.this took me since Aug 10th to get this far once again prepare yourself very good and Tanya is ready to go sec of state right now is a nightmare. but don't give up patients and perseverance is the key once again tanya Grillo is a awesome attorney we made a good team im almost there it takes time to resolve these types of problems GOD HELPS.

License Restoration

During my period of my license restriction and breathalyzer, connected to my auto, I called the breathalyzer company to let them know I would be disconnecting my car's battery, to work on the car. They sent the info to the Sec. of State, who promptly revoked my restricted license! We filed an appeal.... During that time of the appeal, Ms Grillo, not only got my restricted license back, but my full driving privileges were reinstated, at the same time!!!! I can't say enough to promote Tanya and her professional services.

DUI AND SEEKING RECOVERY

I feel Tanya Grillo did an excellent job representing my son, He had a DUI among other charges and helped him use the system to be fair for his charges and helped him use the tools available thru the courts to seek recovery. He is doing very well right now and I believe her direction helped him gr...eatly. Although it has been a painful lesson for him to learn there was always hope and her desire to see him focus on his recovery was so important. Thank you very much. It took over a year, but he is clean and sober. Alcoholism is a disease and family members need to educate themselves as well.
