Michigan Implied Consent Hearing Request Process
Question: What is the process for requesting an implied consent hearing in Michigan? Can my request be denied?Answer: First of all, you have an absolute right to the hearing, so the answer to that is you can't be denied, if it's a first offense. If it's a second offense within a seven-year period, they can deny you. But if it's a first offense, the answer is no.
Again, you'll get a notice from the Secretary of State telling you that your license is subject to suspension as a result of an implied consent violation, and they will ask if you want a hearing. The 14-day notice is you have to get back to them in 14 days. It may very well be that the hearing won't be scheduled for another four or five weeks after the date you originally filed your request for hearing.
Client Reviews

Patrick Barone is the ONLY choice for DUI defense. He was realistic from the start and made it a point to look at my case before taking my money. As a business owner, when I think of attorneys, I think of the "shark infested waters. Patrick is a shark alright, but his prey is not the client; it's justice for his client. Ten stars Patrick!!

Attorney Patrick Barone was very helpful and helped me understand the charge and sentence absolutely clearly. He also guided me through step by step helping me form a statement. His instructions were clear and detailed. It was obvious he cared about me understanding every important detail within my case. I would absolutely recommend this defense firm to anyone in need.

The Barone Defense Firm is the firm I recommend. They are truly concerned about the person, not just the legal issue, but the person as well. They are the most knowledgeable defense firm that I am aware of, having actually written the book on DWI Defense. If you are faced with a DWI you will not find a more professional and skilled law firm. But, most importantly, they care about how the accused individual recovers his or her life when the case is complete. Very remarkable group of lawyers. William H.
