I tried to do it on my own 3 times and failed. I live in Michigan now, have been for the last 8 yrs. I looked online for a lawyer in Michigan none of them would touch it because I got the DUI in Illinois. I looked for Illinois attorneys and came across David Winer. I saw the reviews and called him. He took my case and with a lot of E-mails, and phone calls David helped me get my Michigan Drivers License within under a year. It felt like forever, but he got it done. I can&#8217;t say enough about David, other than he is awesome. I can&#8217;t thank him enough. The best thing was that it was 3 days before Christmas that I got the approval letter to get my License. Thank you again David you are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; Robert<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Most Amazing Lawyer In The World!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>&#8220;Before I start my review, I want to say that I do not believe this, or any review will do David justice. I could not possibly write a strong enough review to describe how effective, amazing, and wonderful he is. My driving privileges were revoked, I had a 10 page driving abstract with over 16 speeding tickets. Every lawyer I went to said there was no hope, every time I called the Secretary of State they said there was no hope. My revocation Informal Hearing was denied, I thought I would never be able to drive again. My life, my job and son depended on me getting them back. David swooped in like a HERO and was able to get my licenses back in less then 30 days. He brought back tickets from 2010 was able to get supervision or have them completely dropped. He was effective, professional and quick. Extremely attentive and caring, not to mention the courts love him. Then after all that, the SOS made a mistake with a ticket that David was able to get dismissed, it still showed up. David went to the DMV that day and made them correct it. He called the following day and surprised me with the words, &#8220;Go get your license&#8221;. He is amazing!! Not to mention, his price was very fair. Even knowing how desperate I was he was still extremely fair. Thank you David!!&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; Jessica<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Class Act<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>&#8220;David Winer is truly a &#8220;Class Act&#8221;. After reviewing my case he assured me he could help me as long as took the steps that were needed . David made sure I was prepared when it was time for my hearing . Prior to meeting Dave I had gone to a formal hearing alone, I had know idea what to expect needless to say I was denied. David is very knowledgeable and will guide you in the right direction. I&#8217;m very grateful for his help I now have an &#8220;RDP&#8221; and will soon be fully reinstated.

Winer will provide you with detailed instructions of the specific steps to prepare for your hearing. He will review all the past documentation including past evaluations, treatment plan, discharge summary, aftercare plan, etc. and make certain they meet the Secretary of State requirements. For the new Update or Uniform Evaluation he communicates with your evaluator to ensure that any problematic issues are fully resolved prior to your hearing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Process and Procedure of Secretary of State Hearings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proper preparation is the key to a successful Secretary of State reinstatement hearing and it is critical to spend quality time with each client preparing them to understand the particular issues that will be raised at their hearing. Prior to the hearing David J. Winer will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Review driving record:<\/strong>\u00a0 To determine the type of suspension or revocation, what type of hearing is required, whether you are eligible for a Full Reinstatement or a Restricted Driving Permit or if it is possible to vacate a conviction in court.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review all Treatment Documentation:<\/strong>\u00a0 It is critical to carefully review all your prior alcohol evaluations and treatment documentation to look for any problematic issues. We work diligently to remedy those areas because your testimony at the hearing must be consistent with the evaluations and treatment documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation for Testimony:<\/strong>\u00a0 During several meetings we provide a direct and understandable method to approach your case and present testimony at the hearing. We will review the circumstances of each DUI arrest, what you learned from treatment, changes in your life since your last arrest, past and current drinking patterns, hardship in not having a license and why the Secretary of State should trust that you will not get another DUI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Evaluation:<\/strong>\u00a0 If you prior evaluation is more than six months old you must obtain a new Update of Uniform Report Evaluation and additional documentation. This Update Evaluation is extremely important and contains information that will be heavily relied upon by the Secretary of State. He work directly with you and closely communicate with your evaluator to assure that the Update Evaluation meets all the Secretary of State requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Denial Order from Prior Hearing:<\/strong>\u00a0 If you were previously denied at a Secretary of State Hearing it is critical to carefully examine the Denial Order and all the submitted documents to determine the specific reasons why you were denied. We must then work to remedy those reasons in your new Evaluation and testimony.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Non-Alcohol Suspensions or Revocations<\/h3>\n<p>If your driver&#8217;s license is suspended or revoked due to moving violations, missed court appearances or any other reason David J. Winer may be able to assist by filing in court a Motion to Vacate your conviction, conducting a Secretary of State hearing or explore other methods to get you back on the road. Receiving a ticket for Driving on a suspended or revoked driver&#8217;s license can carry severe penalties and extend the eligibility dates for a Restricted Driving Permit or reinstatement.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Call David J.
