Hearing Appeals

Understanding the OHAO Hearing Appeal Process

An OHAO hearing requirement doesn't have to mean the permanent loss of your driving privileges. Whether your license was revoked because of multiple DUI/OWI convictions, fleeing and eluding, or another qualifying offense

1
Eligibility Assessment

Two convictions within 7 years or three within 10 years results in revocation. After a minimum of one year (or five years for repeat cases), you may request a hearing with the Michigan Secretary of State's Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight (OHAO).

2
Substance Abuse Evaluation

The Michigan Secretary of State requires a substance abuse evaluation from a qualified expert. Change Me Works connects you with the right professionals to complete this evaluation correctly the first time.

3
Build Your Evidence Package

A successful appeal requires clear and convincing evidence — proof that is strong, consistent, and credible. This includes letters of support, sobriety documentation, and a completed substance abuse evaluation.

4
OHAO Hearing Preparation

We thoroughly prepare you for your hearing and the specific hearing officer assigned to your case. Every detail matters — hearing officers begin from the presumption that repeat DUI behavior is an ongoing risk, so your case must be airtight.

5
Hearing & Decision

At the hearing, you or your attorney presents arguments and supporting documentation. If approved, you'll receive a notice allowing you to get your license issued at a Secretary of State branch office.

6
Circuit Court Appeal (if needed)

If denied, you can file an appeal to circuit court within 63 days (or up to 182 days with good cause) under MCL 257.323. Change Me Works helps connect you with attorneys experienced in this next step.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Key Facts About Michigan Hearing Appeals
  • You must demonstrate at least 1 year of complete sobriety before your hearing
  • Recreational marijuana use disqualifies sobriety claims — even though it is legal in Michigan
  • Losing your hearing means waiting a full year before reapplying
  • Even the smallest paperwork error can result in a denial
  • A prior revocation within the last 7 years results in a hard 5-year revocation
Change Me Works connects you with experienced Michigan attorneys who know exactly how to navigate this process.

"I should have done it many years ago..."
For a couple years I had ran across Change Me Works and didn't follow through with reaching out. I finally did it and I'm ashamed to say I should have done it many years ago... They are awesome and very thorough and really does go the extra mile to help you get your license back.

"Change Me got several tickets thrown out in different courts."
I saw a Change Me Works sign on outer drive and 94 Service Dr. while visiting Detroit last winter. I'm a Texas resident from Detroit. I had over $3000 in tickets and fines. Ken Dandridge and the people around him got several tickets thrown out in different courts. I ended up coming out of a little bit over $2000 including their cost. The whole process for him to get everything cleared took about 2 to 3 weeks. I want to thank Change Me Works, Ken Dandridge and his team — I had not had a license for 4–5 years.

"Best decision and great experience."
I have had the best experience when it comes to trusting someone or something I knew nothing about. Any doubts? PLEASE, throw them away and get your life together. Best decision and great experience. Really have been speechless due to the fact I have been without my DL for 14 years. Thank you for everything!! #OnTheRoadAgain
Ken Dandridge — Change Me Works
Over 12,000 Drivers Restored License Restoration Expert Free Zoom Workshops
ABOUT KEN DANDRIDGE & CHANGE ME WORKS
Michigan's Most Trusted License Restoration Advocate
Born and raised in Detroit, Ken Dandridge understands firsthand the challenges many Michigan drivers face. As a young man, Ken experienced the realities of racial profiling, overwhelming traffic-related costs, and the life-changing impact of a suspended license — challenges that can affect employment, family stability, and future opportunities.
Through his own journey of learning how to navigate traffic matters and restore his driving privileges, Ken recognized the need for a better approach: a process built on clarity, affordability, and compassion.

That vision led him to create Change Me Works, with one mission: to provide Michigan residents with a clear, affordable, and judgment-free path toward restoring their driving privileges.

Ken witnessed how a suspended license could create barriers that prevent people from getting to work, supporting their families, and moving forward in life. He built Change Me Works to help break that cycle by empowering individuals with the knowledge, guidance, and resources needed to legally get back on the road.
12,000+ Michigan Drivers Restored
250,000 Residents Expected to Benefit by 2027
Beyond direct assistance, Ken has also worked to help advance legislative efforts designed to create greater access to driver's license restoration opportunities. These efforts are expected to help more than 250,000 Michigan residents pursue valid driving privileges by 2027.
Through advocacy, education, and direct support, Ken Dandridge and Change Me Works continue working to create a future where a past driving hardship does not prevent Michigan residents from moving forward.
