Having the experience and expertise of attorney Robert Bartis in your corner can mean the difference between keeping your license and losing your right to drive in New Hampshire.

What is the Hearing Like?

An ALS hearing is a lot like a trial. There can be witness testimony and testimony from the arresting officer in the case. All witnesses are under oath, just as in a trial. There is no jury and there are slightly different rules of evidence. It is considered a civil proceeding and a hearing examiner oversees the process. You can choose whether or not to summon the arresting officer to the hearing. If that officer fails to show up at your administrative license hearing, the motion to suspend or revoke your license may be dismissed.
