Emilio De Simone, a DUI Defense Attorney in Denver discusses why we request a DMV hearing.
We almost always request a DMV hearing and we primarily do it for two reasons:
1. If there is no hearing, you lose your license no questions asked. We believe that you shouldn't lose your license without a fight.
2. We generally request that the officer be present because it gives us an opportunity to question the officer and get a feel for what he will be like if and when we go to trial. And of course if he doesn't show up its an easy win.
