Administrative hearings carry significant consequences—from fines and orders to revoke permits, to abatement and cost recovery. At Serviam by Wright LLP, we serve as trusted neutral third-party hearing officers in jurisdictions throughout California. In that role, our duty is to ensure that administrative hearings are conducted fairly, lawfully, and with respect for due process.
Our role is to ensure that hearings are:
- Justice: We ensure that laws, including local municipal codes, are obeyed, applied, and enforced in a just and fair manner.
- Lawful: We ensure compliance with statutory authority, due process requirements, and other legal limitations.
- Neutral: We make decisions based solely on the evidence presented, without bias toward any party.
- Record-Focused: We help create a clean administrative record, supporting defensible outcomes should a case be appealed.
What We Look For in Hearings
As neutral hearing officers, our focus is on:
- Proper notice and opportunity to be heard.
- Evidentiary support for each enforcement element.
- Clear statutory citations.
- Credible, first-hand testimony.
- Absence of ex parte communications.
