QUESTION
How long does the state have to bring charges for a DUI?
Asked on Jan 04th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was arrested for DUI in Michigan over 3 years ago and never received any correspondence from the court. My attorney contacted the court and they had no record of the incident. He said that they probably lost the ticket. Can I still be charged? If not how do I get my license back?

Go to the DMV and apply for a new license. That is how you get your license back.

A drunk driving is required to be adjudicated within 77 days. If not, some Judges, will allow the police to reissue. Since it has been three years, I doubt if the Judge will allow the police to reissue. If there was a bench warrant put on you because you did not appear, you can still be charged. The Secretary of State still has you flagged as having been charged and they won't release your license until the 625 code is lifted from your Mi Master Driver's Record. Your attorney should contact the court and ask for the case to be dismissed, or if they have nothing, then to contact the Secretary of State to remove the code and you should be able to get your license back.
