You have a limited window of opportunity to contest this suspension or revocation by requesting a hearing with the DMV. This hearing is important, so it is important that you work with a qualified Wilmington NC DMV hearing attorney who can help you prepare for the hearing and help you protect your driving privileges.

DMV restoration hearings can be requested for:

Chemical test refusals
Traffic tickets
License revocation/suspension

What Happens in a Restoration Hearing?

A restoration hearing is much like a court proceeding that includes witness testimony and evidence. The hearing is presided by a hearing officer who serves a judge and who will make the final judgment regarding your driver’s license.

Questions that are addressed in a DMV hearing:

Were your chemical tests administered properly?
Did you refuse chemical tests and were you informed of the penalties?
Was the refusal a willful refusal?

During the hearing, you can present your evidence to show why you should have your driving privileges restored, show any inaccuracies with DWI tests, and bring in witnesses to testify on your behalf.
