DMV hearings operate similarly to civil or criminal court proceedings. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) presides over the hearing and gives a judgment typically within 30 days of the hearing. Depending on the details of your DUI case, you can expect the following at the DMV hearing:
Eyewitness testimony and cross-examination
Consideration of physical evidence
Contemplation of statutes, DMV regulations, and precedence
An immediate decision or written decision within 30 days
If you are unable to attend your hearing, your Nevada DUI lawyer can attend on your behalf.
If the ALJ rules against you, you will receive a written decision outlining your license suspension’s start date and completion date. If you win your DMV suspension hearing, you will receive permission to obtain your license from a Nevada DMV site so long as you don’t have other eligibility issues.
