HELLO!!! Is anybody THERE!?!?!?
80% of fighting a license suspension is just showing up. First you have to make sure that there are hearings to show up to. You have to properly request a hearing before the deadlines have come and gone. Then show up on time for the hearing. Sometimes that’s all it takes. Here’s why.
The police have to show up at the administrative hearings, evidentiary hearings, and trials with the evidence necessary to prove all of the parts of their case. Sometimes they don’t. If you show up prepared to go forward and they do not, then you may very well win the hearing just for showing up ready to go.
Request the hearing properly, within time limits, and with proper notice to the arresting officer and anyone else who must be notified/present. Then show up at the hearing ready to proceed. This procedure results in success in about twenty percent of cases without any challenge.
