A driver's license suspension hearing is a hearing that takes place with the state Department of Transportation or Department of Motor Vehicles, in which a hearing officer presides and decides whether or not to impose the driver's license suspension or to set aside the driver's license suspension. Typically, at a hearing, you have the right to be present, you have the right to be represented by an attorney, you have the right to testify, to present evidence, and you often have the right to bring in the police officers who arrested you and to cross-examine them about what happened.
