Driver License Restoration

Mike is very detailed, through and organized. He clearly explained to me the possible outcomes of various hearings and court appearances. He brought good knowledge of the law, resources and experience to my case. I highly recommend Mike.

DLAD Appeal to Oakland County Circuit Court

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.

Out of State Admin Review - Case Won!

My case was pretty unique. I had 2 DUI's on my record from 1999 and 2001 in the state of Michigan. I received multiple driving on suspended as well trying to maintain a job. I ended up moving to California in 2005 and tried to do an out of state hearing myself in 2009. I was denied and finally in... 2015 contacted Michael. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We set up a plan and information I would need to gather. He was with me every step of the way. A few months later after he reviewed my paperwork we sent it to the state for review. On the first try I was granted my full license. There would've been no way I would've known the ins and outs of the review and how to structure my appeal if it were not for Michael. I give the highest recommendation I can give regarding his services. If you're making a decision between lawyers go with Micheal Granzeier! Thank you so much Michael!

Driver's License Restoration

Attorney Michael Granzeier was an excellent, knowledegeable attorney. He made sure all of my paperwork was precise. He kept me informed throughout this stressful process. My license was revoked in 2010. After the hearing in 2016, thanks to Mike, I have my restricted driver's license with the inte...rlocking system . I highly recommend him for anyone looking to get their driver's license restored.

Best attorney for license restoration

Mr. Granzeier is a dedicated and a very proficient lawyer in helping me obtain my license back after being revoked for dui. He is very knowledgeable and without him I don't think I would have had my driving license restored. He not only got my license back but he continues to help if there are any ot...her problems that might arise. I definitely recommend him and highly encourage it if you have lost your license.
