Refused a Breathalyzer – License Lawyer

Our client’s driver’s license was suspended for an entire year after he was arrested for drinking and driving and refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test under Michigan’s Implied Consent Law.

This meant he would not be allowed to drive at all for an entire year—not for court obligations, work, or even a medical emergency. That was until he called Michigan driver’s license lawyer, Aaron J. Boria, and his driving privileges were restored. Call (734) 453-7806.

Michigan Implied Consent Law

Michigan’s Implied Consent Law states that if you are arrested for drinking and driving in Michigan, you have already agreed to submit to a chemical test at the request of a police officer.

However, you can challenge an officer’s claim that you improperly refused the test. There are four legal grounds on which a refusal can be challenged:

• The officer did not have reasonable grounds to believe that you committed a drinking and driving offense.

• You were arrested for a crime other than drinking and driving. For example, if you were arrested for driving on a suspended license and later asked to submit to a chemical test, refusing that test could be proper.

• Your refusal was reasonable under the circumstances.

• You were not properly advised of your rights under the Implied Consent Law.

If any of these issues exist, the refusal suspension may be overturned and your driving privileges restored.

Driver License Lawyer – Michigan

In this case, our client had his Implied Consent hearing and lost because he did not have a valid reason to refuse the Breathalyzer and had been properly arrested for drinking and driving.

Nonetheless, Michigan driver’s license restoration lawyer Aaron J. Boria appealed the matter to the circuit court on the grounds that a one-year license suspension would cause an undue hardship.

After driver license lawyer, Boria spoke with the prosecutor, it was agreed that the hardship would be too severe. The judge then signed an order granting our client restricted driving privileges. Our client is now able to get back on the road.

If your license has been suspended for refusing a Breathalyzer in Michigan, you need an experienced Michigan driver’s license lawyer on your side.
