Your privilege to drive can be taken away for a variety of reasons. Our team can help guide you through the often complicated procedures of the DMV hearing processes. If not taken care of properly, a license issue can haunt you for years to come.
What do I need to know?
The first important detail in issues related to your driver’s license is that if you’ve already lost the right to drive, you need to stop driving. Continuing to drive with a suspended or revoked license further complicates and lengthens the process, making it much more difficult to regain your right to drive.
A DMV hearing is your opportunity to defend your right to drive, whether making a case for your license to not be revoked or for your license to be reinstated. As important as it can be for you to be able to drive legally, hiring an experienced attorney can be vital to the process.
Do I need an attorney for a DMV hearing?
The process involved to maintain or reinstate your license can be complex, and oftentimes what happens before the hearing is just as crucial to the outcome. It can be important throughout that time to have a knowledgable attorney on your side who is familiar with the details of the process and the law to defend your case, protect your rights, and make sure you’re prepared for each step of the process and the hearing.
Working with an attorney helps ensure that your case is being thoroughly considered and that you will have a strong defense during the stages of your hearing and license reinstatement. This not only can bring you peace of mind; it also strengthens the possibility of a positive outcome in your situation.
What should I expect to reinstate my license?
These are several common steps toward restoring your driver’s license, depending on the specific details of your case:
- Identifying why your license was suspended or revoked.
- Completing certain legal requirements, such as a defensive driving or DUI education course.
- Completing a probationary good behavior period, demonstrating safe driving.
- Paying any fees or fines.
- Providing valid proof of insurance.
- Retaking parts of the licensing exam.
- Applying to reinstate your license.
- Attending a hearing.
