For those charged with DWI in Massachusetts, getting a hardship license or a full reinstatement is often a primary concern. If your Mass. license or right to drive in Massachusetts was suspended or revoked because of DWI, DUI, drunk driving, refusing the breathalyzer, or a related criminal offense, you may be able to get a hardship license or even a full license reinstatement. There are at least 5 ways to challenge a Massachusetts License Suspension. Depending on the nature of the suspension and circumstances of the case, appeals can be filed with the Registry, Board of Appeal, or the Courts. Attorney Brian E. Simoneau is an authority on license reinstatements and suspensions in Massachusetts. He routinely handles breathalyzer refusal, hardship license, and DWI suspension cases throughout the Commonwealth.
If you are facing a license suspension because of a DUI charge or any other reason, please contact Attorney Simoneau for a free consultation and case review. After speaking with Attorney Simoneau, you will know exactly where you stand and what your options are. Attorney Simoneau offers representation in all aspects of license suspension and hardship license appeals. With his understanding of Melanie's Law and Registry of Motor Vehicles procedures, he may be able to get you back on the road legally.
DWI License Suspensions and Hardship Licenses are governed primarily by Melanie's Law, which contains minimum mandatory suspension periods which must be served prior to applying for a DWI hardship license. Melanie's Law also requires the mandatory use of an ignition interlock device for any second or subsequent DWI offender. The interlock must be used for the entire length of any hardship license and for a 2 year period thereafter. There are no exceptions to his requirement.
There is absolutely no legal entitlement to a hardship license and it is up to the Registry or the Board of Appeal whether or not to issue one. In order to obtain a hardship license, you must present certain evidence and convince the Mass. Registry or the Board of Appeal that you have a legitimate need to drive and that you will not endanger the public by doing so.
Aside from attempting to apply for a Massachusetts DWI Hardship License, it may be possible to reduce or completely overturn your Massachusetts License Suspension. For example, by using certain legal maneuvers, you may be able to entirely vacate the chemical test refusal or DWI suspension, so that it comes off of your record and you can get a full license. Because of his in-depth knowledge of Massachusetts drivers licensing law and procedure, Attorney Brian Simoneau has achieved a high level of success in this area, even when other lawyers have failed. He has successfully challenged 8 year and even lifetime license suspensions.
If your Mass. license or right to drive in Mass. was suspended because of a DWI, the first step in getting your license back, or at least getting a hardship license, is to contact a qualified DUI License Reinstatement Lawyer such as Attorney Brian E. Simoneau. Attorney Simoneau will tell you, in detail, how to proceed. He offers representation at all levels of the license suspension appeal process.
