Massachusetts DUI & suspended license lawyers represent clients in courts throughout the Commonwealth and at hearings before the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and the Division of Insurance Board of Appeal. We handle ignition interlock suspension hearings at both the Registry and Appellate level. Attorney Brian E. Simoneau has an outstanding track record with interlock suspension appeals. He routinely assists other lawyers with their ignition interlock appeals and he is a statewide authority on Registry of Motor Vehicles matters involving the IID as well as license suspensions and revocations.

Dealing with agencies such as the Registry of Motor Vehicles can be frustrating, confusing, and sometimes difficult.

Given the complexities of the laws which govern license suspensions, DUI cases, and Massachusetts hardship licenses, it is important to have a skilled legal advocate who specializes in RMV law and procedure on your side. Dealing with a Mass. DUI or suspend license is difficult, even under the best of circumstances. Having the right lawyer in your corner can minimize the stress, aggravation, anxiety, frustration, and embarrassment that is often associated with a Mass. DUI charge, ignition interlock violation, license suspension, traffic ticket, JOL violation, or hardship license appeal. Most importantly, the right lawyer can make the difference between getting back on the road or having to suffer through a long license suspension. I have helped countless clients restore legally their Massachusetts driver’s licenses or right to drive in their home states. You have nothing to lose by contacting me. Initial consultations are absolutely free and there is no obligation to hire me. - Attorney Brian E. Simoneau

In Massachusetts license suspension appeal, a petitioner has the right to a hearing before two separate state agencies - the first before the Driver Control Unit of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and then a de novo hearing before the Division of InsuranceBoard of Appeal. The hearing before the DOI Board of Appeals is a formal legal proceeding where the Appeals Board is empowered to subpoena witness and documents, and where witnesses give testimony under the pains and penalties of perjury. In a Massachusetts Board of Appeal hearing, the Board members may hear new evidence not presented at the first hearing. However, the Board can consider the fact that the petitioner appealed once to the Registry and was denied relief.

Do not risk your right to drive by appearing before the Registry of Motor Vehicles or the Board of Appeal unprepared and without a lawyer who specializes in Massachusetts License Suspension and Hardship License cases. Many lawyers attempt to handle these cases. However, there are only a handful of lawyers who routinely practice before the RMV and Board of Appeal.

If you are trying to reach the Mass. RMV, you can call the suspensions unit at 617-351-7200. You can reach the RMV Customer Service line at 617-351-4500.

NOTICE

If the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles has suspended your driver’s license for non-payment of state taxes or child support, there is no way to get any kind of a hardship license. The only way to get a license is to pay the outstanding balance and get a release from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. This office does not handle DOR, Child Support, or unpaid tax matters. You can reach the DOR at 1-800-332-2733.   

HARDSHIP LICENSES

It is purely discretionary with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles whether and on what conditions to grant a hardship license. This means that you can legally be denied even if you meet all of the Massachusetts Hardship License requirements. Likewise, the Board of Appeal can consider hardship, but is not bound to issue a hardship license even if hardship is present. Indeed, if the need for transportation qualified as a hardship requiring license reinstatement, the Board would have to return a license to almost every appellant. Hiring a Massachusetts Registry Attorney may increase your chances of getting a hardship license.
