Jack I. Hyatt is an aggressive lawyer for DUI, Driving on Suspended or Revoked License, Driving a Rented Vehicle in Violation of a Lease Agreement, Speeding, Radar and MVA Hearings. {When you call, we can explain the specific defenses for each of these charges.} As a past Assistant State’s Attorney, Jack I. Hyatt has gained experience in over 20,000 cases. He thoroughly knows the state’s play book, understands police mistakes, and is able to use both sides of the law to provide you with an excellent opportunity to get your case dismissed prior to trial, keep your license, avoid probation before judgment, avoid a criminal conviction for DUI and multi-year insurance increases. Both Maryland lawyers and out of state lawyers have selected Jack I. Hyatt to represent them in their personal DUI cases. 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, even with high breath test results. I also understand exactly how physical or mental illnesses or disabilities can be confused with DUI and the very best way to project these defenses to the court. The education, training and experience of your lawyer can make the difference in the final result. Each case is different and past records are no assurance that the lawyer will reach a favorable result in any future case. “Justice is your right, we demand it.” When defending your DUI or driving on Suspended or Revoked License case, “RESULTS” are everything. If you retain the wrong lawyer, you may not get the best result. You need the lawyer who can provide the best opportunity to get your case dismissed and provide the very best result. A question frequently asked is if a breathalizer test should be taken or refused. Upon receive of your call, we will advise under what circumstances it is better to take or refuse the test.

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. Frequently, knowlege of specific drunk driving and traffic 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 Drunk Driving Lawyer who can bring specific knowledge to each case which will make all of the difference between wining and losing. Mr. Hyatt is fully licensed to practice in every Maryland county, Baltimore city, all Federal Courts in Maryland as well as the United States Supreme Court. If you have questions, you can call Jack I. Hyatt 410-486-1800 Throughout your case, he will require the State of Maryland to prove every single element of their case beyond a reasonable doubt, which often, they can not do. He will ask detailed questions begining when and why you were stopped, what did the arresting officer observe, how detailed is his memory, was the stop legal, was any search legal, reviewing what was said to induce you to speak, take any tests, were field tests administered properly, did the officer fully know how to administer the tests, was all machinery used in good repair, was all machinery used tested properly, was the machinery timely tested, did the officer know how to properly use the machinery, did the officer who tested the machinery know how to properly test it, when did the officer last qualify on the machinery are examples of premininary questions. 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.
