Understanding DMV Hearings: What You Need to Know
Following a DUI arrest and trial, you may have your license suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) even if you were not convicted. A DMV hearing is not like a court trial, and hearsay evidence may be admissible. The hearing will take place at a DMV office and will focus mainly on police reports and chemical testing results. The proceeding will be handled by a DMV employee who serves as both judge and prosecutor. In the end, if evidence cannot be legally introduced, the DMV cannot suspend your license.
We can challenge the introduction of evidence and subpoena key witnesses, such as the arresting officer, to ensure that your rights are protected. This is one of many reasons why it is crucial to procure excellent legal representation before entering into such a hearing.
