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.

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!

One of the best attorney's around. I hired him after going through two other attorney's saying they couldn't help me. I would have had to wait a year to restore my license with the Secratary of State. I appealed their desicion with circuit court and received a restricted licenses with no interlock. H...e leaves no details out and executes everything that is pertinent to the case. He also explains how the case will be addressed for the hearing. If you want to increase your odds to be treated fairly, this is your guy. I would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney. Not all attorney's have a lot of experience in circuit court, he does.

Attorney at Law Michael J Granzeier: Michael J Granzeier recently represented me in a series of attempts to restore my driving privileges. Secretary of state denied my appeal although Mr. Granzeier was prepared and intelligently argued on my behalf. It seemed as though the decision was made ...before we entered the building. Mr. Granzeier was not done yet. More work, more information and to circuit court we went. Mr. Granzeier was not to be denied!!! Not one but two circuit court appearances, his factual representation overcame the secretary of states objections and the arguments made by the attorney general. Now through his determination and most importantly his understanding of the law and my rights I have been granted the privilege to drive again. An attorney who tried when most wouldn't. An attorney who did the homework necessary to represent me when I couldn't represent myself. Thank you for always taking my calls and thank you for caring enough so others believed enough to give me another chance to drive. Sincerely, Jere A Law

Mr. Granzeier was hired to help me appeal my Michigan Drivers License revocation appeal to the Secretary of State this spring, 2014. He assured me that if I was truthful, thorough and followed his advice to the letter we had a good chance. We succeeded. Despite several warnings of fellows in AA wh...o have been through the appeal process not to get my hopes up, we won on the first appeal. Throughout the process Mr. Granzeier was very concise and made sure all of my documentation was exactly as it should be for this hearing. He was uncompromising , very informative and shared his experience with me to great effect. He took the time to make sure I was clear on all manners of speaking before the hearing. He provided excellent support during the hearing when I needed it. He kept in contact with me afterwards and has provided excellent followup information for my time under restricted driving privileges. I will certainly be calling him again when it is time to appeal for an unrestricted license.
