About the Office of Administrative HearingsIn 1990, the Maryland Legislature created the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). Maryland law, through the Administrative Procedure Act of the State Government Article, provides that contested agency actions may be resolved through an impartial administrative hearing process.
"There is no substitute for experience." Not every lawyer has the same training, education and experience to effectively handle all types of cases, MVA hearings, MVA appeals or jailable traffic charges. When you retain Jack I. Hyatt in your MVA hearing, MVA appeal or when attempting to get your driver's license reinstated, you will get the very best opportunity to retain your license.
Our objective is to enable you to avoid a revocation or suspension of your drivers license and avoid multiyear insurance increases. Upon receipt of your call, we will fully explain all of your options, proven defenses that work, how to save your license, the ways in which MVA cases can be dismissed and the very best way to proceed in your case.
If your license is revoked or suspended, we can assist you in avoiding the common mistakes and provide the most effective opportunity to get your license back in the shortest available time.
***If you are not satisfied with an MVA decision, we know exactly what your options are for an appeal and the very best way to proceed.***
Many cases that have a high potential to win are lost because the correct legal authorities were not properly set forth in the documents filed and not properly argued. "He who represents himself has a fool for a client." "Abraham Lincoln" This quotation is especially true in M V A cases that require specific knowledge and awareness of specific court decisions and statues.
"Your representation was outstanding in convincing the administrative law judge to completely dismiss the case at my MVA hearing so I did not lose my license."~~S.M. I did not realize how complicated these proceedings are and could have never gotten my license back without your excellent representation. Thanks. "~~T.S. "Thanks again for your aggressive representation in getting my MVA hearing dismissed and saving my license. I am so glad I switched lawyers." ~~F.F. "Thanks for a job extremely well done in getting my DUI, negligent driving, and all 11 related charges dismissed prior to trial so I did not have to appear in court and also having my MVA hearing dismissed."~N.M. "I was worried about my DUI charges from the day I was charged until the day you called several days prior to trial indicating all charges would be dismissed and I would not have to appear in court. Thanks again for suggesting I not accept the state's offer to plead guilty."~~R.F. "I selected Jack Hyatt because of his experience, knowledge and reputation. He thoroughly investigated my case, detected technical mistakes made during my arrest and had my DUI and all other charges completely dismissed at trial. If you are charged with DUI or any traffic charge, he is the lawyer you need to call." ~~R.S. "I was extremely worried about my pending DUI charges due to two prior DUI convictions. Your aggressive representation was excellent in getting all DUI charges dismissed prior to trial. You seemed much more knowledgeable than my two prior attorneys and were always available to answer my questions." ~~T.D. "The result you obtained in my third DUI case was outstanding and far better than my second case in which I had a different lawyer that was not as knowledgeable as you. I wish I had known about you and switched lawyers earlier. Thanks." ~~M.J. "Your straight forward answers to my questions were greatly appreciated. Thanks again for getting my Federal DUI dismissed."~~ S.E. "Thanks for advising me to plead not guilty and getting all of my Prince George's County DUI charges dismissed." ~~S.R. “Your representation and results exceeded my expectations in my DUI case and you seemed more knowledgeable than lawyers in my prior cases”~~J.D.H “Thanks for your hard work and results in my second DUI case. I am glad I switched lawyers and I recommend your services.”~~A.C. “Thanks for a job well done I getting my driving uninsured vehicle dismissed so I did not have to appear in court.”C.F. “ I am so glad I selected you as my lawyer and did not plead guilty as I originally intended as your representation resulted in getting my driving on a suspended license charge dismissed. Thanks for a job well done.” ~~ D.B. “ Your diligent representation was excellent in getting me a PBJ for my second DUI. The outcome was better than I expected.” Thanks. ~~ I.A. “Your strategy, motions and aggressive representation was excellent in my violation of probation case. Thanks for getting my probation continued especially as it was against the recommendation of the state’s attorney and the court agreed with your arguments”.~~T.G. If you are facing the loss of your driver's license due to DUI, driving on suspended or revoked license, or if you are attempting to get your driver's license back, we can can provide the best opportunity to avoid the loss of your license or get your license back. Depending upon the facts in your case, we know what defenses work and what defenses will not work.
Administrative Law Judges ("ALJs"), highly qualified attorneys trained in a wide variety of areas of administrative law, hear these cases. The OAH, an independent state agency, provides high quality, fair, and efficient hearings. It has also reduced the cost of the hearing process by providing a centralized corps of professional judges and support staff. The OAH's Administrative Law Judges travel throughout the State of Maryland to provide hearings in the most convenient area possible for all of the State's citizens and businesses.
