The Administrative Hearings Section adheres to a strict time schedule for implied consent hearings In Michigan. If the officer does not appear within 20 minutes of the scheduled time, absent unusual circumstances, the case will be dismissed (regardless of whether your client appeared).
On the other hand, if the officer appears but the client does not, your client’s failure to appear will be treated as a default (unless the attorney appeared on his or her behalf), and license sanctions will be imposed.
