ANN ARBOR, Mich. - TelAve -- –  For Michigan residents seeking to restore their driver's licenses after alcohol- or drug-related revocations, the substance abuse evaluation is one of the most important steps in the appeal process. Michigan License Lawyer, Dan Geherin is emphasizing the need for applicants to fully understand and prepare for these evaluations to maximize their chances of success.

The Michigan Secretary of State requires all individuals pursuing a license appeal to undergo a professional evaluation of their substance use history, treatment efforts, and risk of relapse. Hearing officers heavily rely on the evaluator's report to determine whether an applicant has made meaningful progress toward sobriety.

"Too many people underestimate the evaluation and treat it as just another form to fill out," said Dan Geherin, attorney for driver's license restoration in Michigan. "In reality, it's the foundation of the appeal. A poorly prepared evaluation can set someone back another year, while a well-prepared one can make all the difference."
