MVD License Revocation Hearing

The arrested officer that confiscated your license should have provided you with a Noice of Revocation. This notice allows you to challenge the decision to take your license so you can drive while the court processes your case. BE AWARE: YOU MUST REQUEST AN MVD LICENSE REVOCATION HEARING WITHIN TEN DAYS OF YOUR ARREST.

I can represent you during this hearing. Instead of hoping that you will get to keep your license, reach out to a DWI/DUI attorney at Grano Law Offices, P.C. to give yourself every fighting chance at getting back on the road.
