In some cases, a stop west of Beaverton could be referred for prosecution to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office and proceed through the Multnomah County Circuit Court. If you elect to have an Implied Consent hearing— often called a DMV Hearing— the hearing location won’t be affected by which city or county you’re in, but rather where the nearest hearing location for the Office of Administrative Hearings is located.
