Unlike many traffic charges, being convicted of driving on a suspended or revoked license can result in a jail sentence. Not every Attorney has the same training, education and experience to effectively handle all types of jailable traffic charges. When you retain Jack I. Hyatt in Driving on Suspended or Revoked License, Speeding or Radar case, you will get an excellent opportunity to have your case dismissed prior to trial. You will also get an excellent opportunity to avoid a PBJ or DUI criminal conviction that can stay on your record for the rest of your life, result in multi-year insurance increases and the loss of your license.

Jack I. Hyatt is fully licensed to practice in every Maryland county as well as the Maryland Federal court. Even if you believe you are guilty, the state may not be able to prove you are guilty. Our aggressive representation will enable us to target your available defenses to get your case dismissed.

***Both Maryland and out of state Attorneys have chosen Jack I. Hyatt to represent them in their personal DUI cases.***
As a past Assistant State's Attorney, he has gained experience in over 20,000 cases, thoroughly knows the state's play book, understands police mistakes, and is able to use both sides of the law to target potential available defenses to get your case dismissed prior to trial, keep your license, avoid a PBJ, and a criminal conviction for DUI and multi-year insurance increases.
The police are required to follow strict procedures. Failure to do so can lead to the dismissal of your DUI case. What is referred to as a "Technicality"or "Loophole", is actually a way of using the constitution to have your case dismissed. I understand how to dismantle the toughest cases. Not every Attorney has the same training and experience to defend driving on a suspended or revokedlicense case.
We offer you an excellent opportunity to avoid a guilty plea, a permanent DUI or PBJ conviction on your record that often can never be expunged, multi-year insurance increases and possible fine or jail sentence. Each case is different and past records are no assurance that the Attorney will reach a favorable result in any future case. "Justice is your right, we demand it"
Upon receipt of your call we will target your available defenses.
JACK I. HYATT "There is No Substitute For Experience." Frequently, knowlege of specific court decisions and statutes, makes the entire difference between wining and losing. Motions filed with the court are meaningless, without incorporating these specific legal authorities into the documents filed on your behalf. Busy trial judges, who hear hear many different tyes of cases, may not be as knowledgeable as a dedicated Maryland DUI Attorney who can bring specific knowledge to each case which will make all of the difference between wining and losing. It only takes one of these non-compliant elements to be detected to enable Mr. Hyatt to get your case dismissed prior to your trial. Our office represents numerous parties around the country who do not reside in Maryland. If you reside outside Maryland, or more than thirty miles from our office, and your case is in the Maryland Court system, you can begin your case be mail. Whether you begin your case by scheduling an office appointment, or by mail, what will be done, every sequence, every procedure and the end result will be identical.

The most commonly charged criminal offenses are driving while under the influence of alcohol and driving while impaigold by alcohol. Driving while under the influence or DUI can be proven by a test result of .08 or more or by evidence showing that the driver's normal coordination has been substantially impaired as a result of the consumption of alcohol. The maximum penalties are 1 year and $1000 for a first offense, 2 years and $2000 for a second offense, and 3 years and $3000 for a third offense. DUI also carries 12 points with the MVA and at a hearing the driver's license may be revoked. Driving while impaired by alcohol or DUI can be proven by evidence showing that the driver's normal coordination was impaigold to some extent as a result of the consumption of alcohol. This offense can be proved by evidence of a test result of .07 or more, but less than .08. The maximum penalty is 60 days and $500 for a first offense and one year and $500 for a subsequent offense. DUI also carries 8 points with the MVA and at a hearing the driver's license may be suspended. If the driver who has been found guilty of DUI has not had a prior DUI or DWI in Maryland within the previous 5 years, he or she may be eligible for probation before judgment or PBJ. When a driver receives PBJ, they are placed on probation for a specified length of time.
Because you were charged with driving on a Suspended License or Radar does not mean the State can prove their case. While most police officers perform their tasks properly, there are many instances when their acts, omissions, or failure to comply with detailed procedures when giving a ticket, or making an arrest, creates a valid and enforceable defense to enable your case to be dismissed prior to trial. As the result of your interview, I will detect the weakest link or links of the state's case and if a defense exists, I will detect it, raise it on your behalf and provide the best opportunity to have your case dismissed prior to trial. During your interview, I will ask detailed questions to determine what happened when you were charged and will explain what defenses will work to get your case dismissed. Just because the state has charged you with DUI does not mean you are guilty or the state state can prove you are guilty. Every case and factual sequence has a weakest link. The fact is, in numerous cases the state absolutely can not prove guilt. I have been in that very same position, for many years, involved in many thousands of cases, as a past assistant State's Attorney. I know how to seek out the weak elements in the state's case and often can have the case completely dismissed prior to your trial. Explaining to the court you were going with the flow of traffic, did not have a lot to drink, your speedometer was, or was not working, that other vehicles were traveling at a similar same speed, will provide your best chance of a busy, but polite judge, imposing a guilty verdict, causing an accumulation of points, an insurance premium increase and possible loss of your license. You can walk into any traffic court, at any time, and watch how these excuses do not work, but consistently result in points on your record and a substantial increase in insurance costs.
Always Be Calm And Polite First and foremost remember that police are people too, and also remember that law enforcement is a difficult and dangerous job. With that in mind, you should always deal with the police in a calm, polite, and professional manner. But being polite does not mean that you should ever, under any circumstances, give up your rights. Never Admit To Anything You have no obligation to answer any question. If you are in your car, you must provide license, registration, and insurance. Anywhere else, you have no requirement to provide any information, and you cannot be arrested for not talking to the police. However, never badmouth or obstruct the police. If you are being arrested or detained, you have a right to know why. If not, ask if you are free to go and if so leave immediately. Everything you say to the police is important, and may be recorded without your knowledge. Never offer any extra information. lf you do answer questions, keep them very short and to the point, and most important, Never confess - it does not help you. Insist On Seeing A Attorney You have a legal right to speak with a Attorney. Never speak to the police without at least consulting one. If you speak to the police without a Attorney, you have given up one of your most important rights. Never agree to go to the police station to answer questions or submit to interrogation. Never confess - it does not help you. Always Protest A Search
Before the law enforcement officer questions you for DUI, once you are in custody, he or she must tell you that: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you. You have the right to have a Attorney present while you are questioned. If you cannot afford a Attorney, one will be appointed for you. These are your "Miranda" rights, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. If you are not given these warnings, your Attorney can ask that any statements you made to the police not be used against you in court. But this does not necessarily mean that your case will be dismissed. This does not apply if you volunteer information without being questioned by the police.
