If you are facing a license suspension following a DUI/DWI charge in Maryland, you have the right to an administrative hearing with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to challenge this decision. The request for a hearing must be made within specific time frames to avoid automatic suspension. Sending a request within 10 days from the notice of suspension ensures that your driving privileges are maintained until the hearing date. If a request is made within 30 days but after the 10-day window, your suspension will begin on the 46th day post-traffic stop unless overturned at the hearing.
During the MVA hearing, several critical aspects are reviewed including the legality of the traffic stop and arrest, the administration and results of chemical tests, and the adherence to procedural rights. Our experienced attorneys at Ryan Law LLC specialize in navigating these hearings, ensuring that every aspect of your case is thoroughly prepared and effectively presented to challenge any potential license suspension.
