Administrative and Licensing Defense Attorney
While administrative proceedings are separate from criminal court, any decision could impact your rights before the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). If you have been charged with a DWI, are arrested for suspected drunk driving, or have lost your license due to accumulation of traffic points or unpaid tickets, it is important to consult with an experienced MVA hearing lawyer. At Gary W. Wiessner Law Office, I offer experienced advocacy and support to help you keep your license and minimize the consequences of a traffic ticket or DWI.
Losing Your License in Maryland
There are a number of reasons why your license could be suspended or revoked. You may have been charged with a traffic ticket, accumulated points and lost your license without knowing it. As your lawyer, I will work aggressively to collect relevant evidence and represent your interests at MVA hearings to keep or reinstate your license. If you have been arrested for drunk driving it is important to have an attorney involved as soon as possible to protect your rights.
I am a Howard County MVA hearing attorney with experience in cases involving:
- Point accumulation
- Medical reasons (epileptic and have seizure, etc.)
- Too many DWIs
- Medical advisory board decision
- DWI test result over .08 or a refusal
- Obtaining a temporary license
Hearings and Work or Restricted Driving Licenses
The MVA does not have to give you a hearing unless you ask for it. After an arrest or charge a letter is sent and you will have 15 days to respond. Remember that once you ask for a hearing, you are still able to drive. As your lawyer, my goal is to prevent license from being suspended or revoked. I will also seek a restricted driving license when possible. Most administrative judges are not out to make people lose their job, so it is possible to get driving privileges for work.
