What happens at a DOL hearing?
The Hearing Officer will start recording the call (most are conducted by telephone) and will review the evidence that the department has received. During this step, your attorney can step in an object to the admission of certain evidence. Depending on the circumstances of your case, testimony may be offered on your behalf as well as any legal arguments to further your case. During this step, your attorney can present a legal defense that is geared to protecting your license. You don’t even have to be present in order for your attorney to handle your DOL Hearing. With the help of a competent and skilled attorney, you have a much greater chance of retaining your license after a DUI arrest.
