Every customer begins with an authorization call. During this process we:

• Obtain authorization to review your driving history
• Analyze your Michigan driving record
• Review outstanding tickets warrants defaults suspensions revocations denials and pending actions
• Identify every court that must be contacted
• Determine whether there are hidden issues that could delay license restoration or reinstatement

This comprehensive review allows us to fully understand your driving history before any action is taken.

No two driving records are alike. Based on your traffic history we develop an individualized traffic resolution plan specifically designed for your unique circumstances. Your plan prioritizes each traffic matter in the proper order while taking into consideration applicable Michigan Secretary of State guidelines.

Our objective is to help you resolve your traffic matters without unnecessarily triggering additional actions that could further delay your ability to legally drive.

One of the biggest mistakes drivers make is assuming they should immediately pay every ticket or simply plead guilty in court. Depending on the circumstances paying a ticket pleading guilty missing a court appearance or allowing a traffic citation to go into default can result in additional consequences imposed by the State of Michigan.

• Paying a ticket without understanding the impact on your driving record
• Pleading guilty when another legal option may be available
• Missing a scheduled court appearance
• Allowing a traffic citation to go into default
• Resolving traffic matters in the wrong order
• Driving while your license is suspended or revoked which may result in additional periods of suspension or revocation under Michigan law

• Additional driver's license suspensions
• License revocations
• Extended periods before you become eligible for reinstatement
• Additional Secretary of State requirements
• Increased court costs and legal complications
• Delays in obtaining or restoring your Michigan driver's license

Our team works with courts throughout Michigan to:

• Verify outstanding cases
• Confirm balances owed
• Determine eligibility for payment plans
• Schedule court appearances when necessary
• Request adjournments when appropriate
• Assist customers in understanding court procedures and requirements before appearing

Our goal is to ensure every step is handled correctly before any court action is taken.

When appropriate Change Me Works may appear in court as a support agency alongside our customers. Our role is to assist in coordinating communication and ensuring everyone involved understands the customer's traffic resolution plan.

Our purpose is to help ensure that all parties have accurate information regarding the customer's driving history and the proposed resolution strategy while helping the customer avoid unnecessary actions that could negatively affect their driving privileges under Michigan Secretary of State requirements. Final legal decisions always remain with the court prosecutors attorneys and the Michigan Department of State.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach we carefully determine the most appropriate strategy for each traffic matter. Depending on the circumstances this may include:

• Negotiating payment arrangements

• Prioritizing traffic matters in the proper order
