Must attorneys be hired to defend the violator and/or represent the complainant at a hearing? How long does it take to schedule a hearing date?
. No, but an attorney could explain the charges on the citation, represent the defendant/ complainant at the hearing, and assist in obtaining a fair penalty if found guilty of the law. Hearings can be scheduled immediately at the site of the violation by the inspector if compliance with the original correction notice has not been obtained.
