What Is a DMV Hearing?
A DMV hearing is an administrative process in which the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) determines whether your driving privileges should be suspended
or restored. Unlike a criminal trial, these hearings focus solely on your ability to drive, not on guilt or innocence.
These hearings may arise for reasons such as:
- A DWI charge or conviction
- Refusal to take a breath test
- Accumulation of traffic violations or license points
- Medical conditions affecting driving ability
- Driving while license revoked (DWLR)
Having a skilled DMV hearing attorney by your side is critical to presenting your case effectively and protecting your right to drive.
Why You Need a Skilled DMV Hearing Attorney
Don’t Face the DMV Alone
Without proper representation, DMV hearings can feel like an uphill battle. The system is complex, and minor missteps can result in prolonged license suspensions or even permanent revocations. At the Law Office of Nathan Earwood, our attorneys bring 90 years of combined experience to every case, offering the expertise needed to navigate these hearings with confidence.
We Understand What’s at Stake
Your license is more than just a piece of plastic—it’s your independence, livelihood, and freedom. We approach every case with empathy and a determination to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
Types of DMV Hearings We Handle
DWI Refusal Hearings
Refusing to take a breath test after being stopped for suspected DWI can result in a 12-month license suspension. These hearings are critical for both your driving privileges and your criminal case. We’ll help you challenge the refusal and explore all legal options.
Driving While License Revoked Hearings
Multiple moving violations during a period of revocation can lead to “permanent” revocation. Our attorneys work to secure limited driving privileges and prepare for the DMV hearing to help you regain full driving rights.
Medical Hearings
The DMV may revoke your license due to medical conditions like epilepsy or diabetes. We collaborate with your healthcare providers to present evidence proving you’re a safe and responsible driver.
Restoration Hearings
If your license has been revoked for an extended period, you may be eligible for a hearing to restore your driving privileges. We ensure your application is complete, prepare compelling evidence, and represent you with confidence.
