The amount of time that your license will be suspended or revoked on a second or third offense depends on the length of time between the prior conviction(s) and the present conviction. If more than seven years has passed since the prior conviction date and the present conviction date, then you will treated as a first offender for licensing sanction purposes. This applies even if your arrest date was within 7 years of your prior conviction and you are being charged as a second offense. For Third offenses, you will not be treated as a third offender if one of your prior two convictions was more than 10 years ago. For example, if you have convictions in 1998 and 2001 and get a third offense in 2010, you will be treated as a first time offender for licensing sanctions. But, if your convictions were in 1998 and 2006, you would be treated as a second offender.

We are Michigan Drunk Driving lawyers located in Walled Lake, Troy, Berkley, Roseville, and Oxford. We offer FREE case evaluations, and will give you personalized advice and information so that you know what you are up against and understand what defenses you have. We have the experience, the knowledge, and the resources to protect you.
Not All Law Firms Are The Same! Where most Drunk Driving Attorneys work alone, the Ambrose Law Group has a staff of trial lawyers to investigate, prepare, and defend you at trial! The lawyers of the Ambrose Law Group are graduates of the National College of Drunk Driving Defense, The Western Trial Advocacy Institute, and Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College.
We engage in full discovery in every case. We can’t advise you on the best course of action in your case until we know everything about it. When we are hired, we immediately demand the police reports, in-car videos, and booking videos before the police have an opportunity to destroy them. Only after having reviewed the police reports and videos can we advise you on how to best resolve your case.
You may have defenses that other lawyers will not find for you. You should not simply walk into court and plead guilty without first having your case evaluated by a skilled, knowledgeable and trial-tested lawyer. Not all cases are defendable, but all situations are explainable. It only makes sense to know all of your options before making a decision that will affect the rest of your life.
