An Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing is your chance to contest the automatic license suspension following a DWI arrest. It also provides an opportunity to question the arresting officer under oath. This allows your attorney to lock in their testimony early, making it easier to challenge any inconsistencies should the case go to trial.
Having the officer's statements recorded during this hearing gives your lawyer leverage to discredit them later if their story changes. It’s a critical step in building a robust defense.
