Alcohol Licenses, business registrations and Virginia lottery permits are issued by the government and allow you to legally conduct business \u2013 and if you don\u2019t fill out the paperwork correctly or apply for the wrong type of license, it could hold up the licensing. You also could end up having to appeal or attend a hearing to fight for your license. Because occasionally, it does happen: an application gets submitted that doesn’t get approved. They end up in court. <\/p>\n

This client ended up in court facing a room filled with objectors to the location in question<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

If there is an objection to the location of the license (as it was in the case of this client, pictured above), we can help you prepare. In this case, despite efforts of mediation with civic-league opposition, the client ended up in court facing a room filled with objectors. He won, by the way. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Generally, hearings to resolve alleged violation(s) of the Virginia ABC Act and\/or VA ABC Authority\u2019s regulations take place at the appropriate Virginia ABC’s regional office. In some circumstances (significant public interest) a local governmental facility may be utilized.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Application Hearing\u2019s will delay license issuance and in some cases result in a restricted license or even license denial. The hearing decision is rendered in writing within 30 days of the hearing date. <\/p>\n

How does ABC Consulting help in the courtroom?<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We help you prepare. Preparing for a hearing is far more than just showing up and giving opinions. We help you do your homework, bring facts, bring witnesses and if you wish to retain legal counsel it is highly recommended. We work with your legal counsel or you can use our recommended attorney.<\/li>\n
  2. Administrative hearings are generally of two types: (1) Application\u2014to obtain an ABC license, and (2) Disciplinary\u2014to determine whether a licensee has violated one or more ABC laws and regulations. We can assist with either type.<\/li>\n
  3. We, often, will recommend joining your local civic league to ensure that your business plan is in line with the civic league\u2019s community plan.<\/li>\n
  4. We help you understand the ABCs of an ABC Hearing (what evidence should be submitted and if you should designate a spokesperson)<\/li>\n
  5. We help create a confidence in you for courtroom appearances. We remind you to speak loud and slowly (so the court reporter captures your testimony accurately).<\/li>\n
  6. We\u2019ll help you speak to the Hearing Officer (not to the audience in the hearing room). The hearing officer conducts the hearing in a fair and impartial manner, while assuring that all relevant and material information is presented in order to make a reasoned decision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
