What Are My Rights at a Hearing?

You have the right to represent yourself or hire an attorney to represent you at your own expense. And, you have the right to tell your side of the story to the hearing officer.

If the city presents its case through the in-person testimony of a city official or other witness, you have the right to ask questions of the city's witness.

If the city presents its case through the sworn affidavit testimony you may have the right to request that the city official attend the hearing so that you may ask questions of that city witness.  However, federal and state case law may not require the physical attendance of that city official at the hearing. The decision on whether or not to grant a subpoena request is up to the individual hearing officer.

Let the attorneys at Bradford Miller Law, P.C. appear on your behalf to get the matter settled in a timely manner at a very reasonable rate.
