What is the procedure to getting a drivers license back after 2 DWI's in Michigan?

Getting drivers license back after 2 DWI in Michigan can be difficult, depending on the circumstances. The first thing that you need to understand is that when you have a second DWI conviction, you will lose your license for a one year period of time. At the end of this one year period of time, you will need to prove that you should get your license back. The first step to license restoration is generally to try to petition to get a restricted license. This means that you will need to convince the court that you have dealt with your alcohol problem, that you are not going to drink and drive again, and that you can be entrusted with a license again. Record of successful completion of a drug and alcohol program, proof of attendance at rehab programs like AA, and other clear evidence that you have resolved your problem, will be essential. 

If you are successful at petitioning for a restricted license, then the usual restriction is that you will be required to use an ignition interlock device. This is a device attached to your car that you have to pay for that will require you to blow into a breathalyzer before you start your car in order to prove you aren't under the influence of alcohol. 

The next step is to petition for a full license. You'll need proof that everything has worked well with the ignition interlock system (usually for around six months to a year) and that you do not pose a risk of drinking and driving again.

This process can be long and difficult. If you want to have the best chance of being successful, it is in your best interests to have a lawyer assisting you throughout the process.
