DMV APPEAL TO DISTRICT COURT OR COLORADO COURT OF APPEALS Appeal.  Attorney welcomes DOR license suspension or revocation appeals to the District Court or to the Colorado Court of Appeals.  From the DMV Appeal Webpage Index, site visitors may find information regarding procedures anticipated in a DMV appeal.  If the attorney provided representation during the course of the Habitual Offender DOR hearing or ruling, he is familiar with the facts, testimony and exhibits received into evidence at hearing and meritorious issues for appeal.  Retaining counsel who did not provide DOR hearing representation requires a bit more familiarization by counsel.  Please refer to: FIRST CONSULTATION AND DMV APPELLATE CASE PRELIMINARY REVIEW Representation Provided at DMV Hearing Representation NOT Provided at DMV Hearing Appeal Attorney Fees & Costs
