A: The process of navigating through the driver license restoration process is complex enough that you would be well served to retain an attorney. You may, for instance, be entitled to go directly to the circuit court judge, or you may need to reapply through the secretary of state - an attorney could best tell you where your case fits at the moment.

Keep in mind that generally these appeals can be tough. As you're probably aware, there is no "right" to have a driver license restored once its been revoked. You must convince the secretary of state that you are a stone-cold sober individual.
