Michael James Granzeier

I was extremely satisfied with the representation Mr. Granzeier provided for me. I had a unique case that, on paper, appeared to be a challenge to any top attorney. Mr. Granzeier proved to be up to the challenge. I was charged with 3 DUI offenses between 2001 and 2009. After serving a 5 year driv...er's license revocation, I was granted a restricted driver's license with an interlock device. During this period, I had 6 start up failures ( 2 minor violations) within the one year timeframe between possible DLAD Hearings. These were false positives caused by my prescription inhaler. Due to these 2 violations, my time frame was extended by 6 months before I could apply for another DLAD hearing. I also did not provide another breath sample within 5 minutes after the initial failures due to the fact that I was under the impression that another invalid sample would occur from the inhaler. The SOS requires a follow-up breath sample within 5 minutes after any reading in excess of .025 (start up violation). PBT tests are highly advised upon after any interlock violation to prove that the driver had not been drinking. I was unable to obtain PBT tests on each occasion as I was stranded without any means of transportation. For my second DLAD hearing, in which I could possibly obtain an Operator's License, I represented myself. I submitted all necessary documentation required for a hearing. Unfortunately, my character letters and Substance Use Evaluation were erroneous according to the SOS. This is highly looked down upon by the Hearing Officer's and typically ends in a denied appeal. My 2 minor violations, coupled with incorrect documentation and a Hearing Officer who is known for denying petitioners, resulted in just that. My restricted license was re-revoked. I had no driving privileges and would have to wait a year before I was eligible for yet another DLAD hearing. (If i could do it all over again, I would have retained Mr. Granzeier's services for this hearing). I was frustrated and disappointed in the SOS's judgement and was determined to find the best legal representation possible to prove my case and get me back on the road quickly. I was then lucky enough to hear of Mr. Granzeier through this website. I spoke with him over the phone on multiple occasions during the week after I received my denied notice in the mail. I had also spoken to multiple other "top" Driver's License Restoration attorneys in the state and most of them told me my appeal was fruitless. I decided to retain Mr. Granzeier after hearing his extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and overall care he showed with regard to the laws and my case. Prior to and after retaining Mr. Granzeier, he was always readily available to discuss my case, give me advice, and put my mind to ease. We took the case to Oakland County Circuit Court and I was granted my previous restricted license back. Driver's License Restoration cases are hardly ever overturned in Circuit Courts, especially in Oakland County. I believe retaining Mr. Granzeier was one of the best choices I have ever made. I would recommend him to anyone who is ever involved in Drunk Driving or Driver's License Restoration cases. He is by far one of the best, if not the best, Drunk Driving and Driver's Restoration attorney's in the state of Michigan.

Michael Granzeier was diligent in his work. He wasted no time after I had called him for help. He gave me a truthful and realistic consultation on the ways in which my case could go. He was very professional in court and carried himself well. We won in court and got my license back after I had been d...enied by Secretary of State. He not only works hard, but he cares for his clients. I would hire him again if I needed to and will be calling him for any legal advice from now on.

My first attempt Mr. Granzeier got me a restricted license! I had a DUI causing serious bodily injury and leaving the scene of an accident. I was so scared to go to my hearing but Mr. Granzeier prepped me for what to expect at the hearing. I was without a license for ten years because I was so afraid... to go through with my hearing. Everything looked so bad to me in black and white. Mr. Granzeier made sure I had everything in order. He meticulously goes over your paper work ensuring everything is perfect. I’m so glad I chose him to represent me. My first try the hearing officer granted me interlock for a year. After being without a license for so long, I’m grateful for that. I will definitely be using Mr. Granzeier again next year when I go to my next hearing. I wish I would have found him sooner instead of waiting so long.

I lost my license back in February 2013 and hired Mike the following month.. Mike took me through the process in detail what was going to be expected of me in order to get a restricted license with an interlock device in my car.. He was with me step by step and made himself available to talk around m...y work schedule, which sometimes meant at 3 am... When we finally went for my hearing mike got me the best restricted license one can have with an interlock device....I hired mike again for my next hearing the following year. Again he was with me step by step and my paperwork was extremely detailed to perfection. At my hearing Mike got my driving privileges restored and I now have full driving privledges back!! I would recommend Mike to anyone that has lost their driver's license because with Mike you will win.. Thank you again Mike because I could not have done it without you!!!!!
