Hire a lawyer to appeal the suspension or revocation of your Massachusetts Driver's License. Whether your license was suspended or revoked for DUI, being a Habitual Traffic Offender, a chemical test refusal, an out of state conviction, ignition interlock violation, or license fraud, you have the right to appeal the adverse action and you have the legal right to be represented by counsel.
If the Registry of Motor Vehicles refuses to reinstate your driver's license or grant you a hardship license, you have the right to appear before the Division of Insurance Board of Appeal. This agency has the legal authority to reverse the Registry's decision and order the issuance of a driver's license.

If you were arrested for Operating Under the Influence of Liquor (OUI) which is also known as "drunk driving, " driving while intoxicated (DWI), or Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Contact a lawyer immediately. You must fight to save your license from potentially lengthy suspensions and a MA DUI Suspension Lawyer can help you do that.
Drunk driving, which is more formally known as operating under the influence, is not the minor motor vehicle offense it once was. Penalties and license suspensions have steadily increased over the years, so that a DUI conviction can have major consequences. The latest revision to the Massachusetts Drunk Driving Law was enacted by the passage of Melanie's Law.
If you have been arrested for OUI in Massachusetts, and a police officer has requested that you take a breathalyzer test, blood test, or chemical breath test, you have the right to refuse to take the test and the refusal cannot be used as evidence against you at a DUI trial. The jury hearing your drunk driving case will not be allowed to hear that you refused to submit to the breathalyzer.
In a Massachusetts DUI trial, evidence that the person accused of operating under the influence of alcohol refused to submit to a breathalyzer or blood test is completely inadmissible. This means that a jury is not allowed to hear breathalyzer refusal evidence and the Assistant District Attorney who is prosecuting the case will proactively inform the police witnesses that they are not to mention the refusal, as it may cause a mistrial.
If you are over the age of 21 and you refuse a breathalyzer in Massachusetts, your license will be suspended for at least 180 days and up to life. If you are under 21 years old and you refuse a Massachusetts breath test, your license will be suspended for at least 3 years and up to life, plus you will face an additional period of suspension of at least 180 days up to 1 year pursuant to G.L. c. 90 § 24P.

Have you every felt lost ? I was lost with no direction until I found a blog post with explaining the exact situation. Only a phone number and a nine digit id. After being on hold for an hour I called Mass. RMV Laywers. Brian answered and took the time to explain exactly what was going on and how it could be solved. He took the time to talk through the situation and with his knowledge and information was able to correct the issue with out his counsel. However with out his help it would have taken weeks if not longer to resolve. Thank you so much.

I was desperate when I contacted Attorney Brian. Before I found him I met with a couple other attorneys and they made me so scared about my husband’s suspended driver’s license situation. They charged us a big amount of money and all of them told me that was a difficult case, almost impossible to get fixed. And then I found Attorney Brian who took care of us, he answered all of our questions, and gave us peace of mind.Thank you Attorney Brian for your great job and big help.

Attorney Brian Simoneau is one of the best lawyers I’ve ever had the pleasure of hiring. Anything license related he will handle swiftly and professionally. He is responsive, knowledgeable and personable. Unlike most lawyers, you can count on him to get the job done. I was in my appeal case and I saw another lawyers presentation and it was pale in comparison to Attorney Brian Simoneau’s. If you want to solve something with your license right away, this is your guy.

Between the registry of motor vehicles, and intoxalock my life was literally ripped away from me overnight. Threw this very DARK TIME there was only one glimpse of a BRIGHT LIGHT, and that was Brian. When it comes to an attorney there is only ONE CHOICE. Thank you Brian for giving me back not only my independence, but my life back.

Attorney Brian Simoneau goes above and beyond to be of service to anyone asking him for guidance. He has a chat feature and responded immediately to me late on a Friday night. Thank GOD I spoke with him as he clarified correspondence I received and guided me through the steps needed to take care of this matter promptly. Truly, I can not thank him enough for his assistance, putting my mind at ease and helping me navigate the ever-annoying and complex MA RMV! Thanks Brian!

If you need a Massachusetts RMV lawyer call Brian Simoneau. I contacted him and within 24 hours of speaking with him he had corrected my issue. He emailed me and attached RMV documents. He made my license renewal effortless. If you live in Massachusetts contact Brian to discuss your situation.
His experience, expertise and timeliness amazed me! Jason H
