I went to get my hearing at this location on state. I Had a black African-American kinda tall anyway as my Hearing Officer. I can't make this up. Well in my hearing he kept letting this women/lady officer/ security in and out about 7times in my hearing to get back my driver's license.Long story short I failed and my lawyer ran off with my money. Thank you for this memeroy I can't never forget it . Thank you Sincerely Juquan J Hall ll P.s if you need proof just ask me or we can email I have nothing hide. N I still don't have my License. God Bless.
