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.

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.

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.

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.

Our office represents numerous parties around the country who do not reside in Maryland.

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.

"There is No Substitute For Experience."

Because you were charged with DWI in Maryland, Speeding, 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. Solid preparation and a knowledgable Maryland DWI Lawyer, with years of courtroom experience, who understands the sequences of arrest and trial are your best defenses and chances to get your case 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 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 DWI 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.

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.
