When you retain Jack I. Hyatt, you will get the very best defense from a former assistant states attorney who has prosecuted over 20,000 cases for the State of Maryland, understands both sides of the law and thoroughly knows the state's playbook and procedures.
"I selected Jack Hyatt because of his experience, knowledge and reputation. He thoroughly investigated my case, detected technical mistakes made during my arrest and had my DWI and all other charges completely dismissed at trial. If you are charged with DWI or any traffic charge, he is the lawyer you need to call." Robert E. Schade
"Thank you for your persistence on hard work. After a breath test of 1.5 resulting in 5 charges including DUI, DWI, failure to drive right of center and leaving the scene of an accident, I was totally surprised when you had all 5 charges dismissed at trial. The result was more than I expected or hoped for. I now understand why the first lawyer I called referred me to you." Dr. Ochi.

Other Considerations and Costs
Will a DWI conviction raise my insurance rates? That will depend on the insurance company and the disposition in court. A conviction will likely have an effect on insurance rates, however, for first offenders who receive PBJs, no conviction is ever received, and the insurance company is unlikely to find out.
Will there be a permanent record of my DWI conviction? Yes. If convicted of a DWI, there will be a permanent record in court and at the MVA on your driving record, however, the driving record can be expunged after ten years without a ticket. These are public records and can be accessed by anyone who is interested. On the other hand, if you are found not guilty, the record of your arrest can be expunged and there will likewise be no trace of your arrest for anyone to locate.
What are the penalties for driving on a suspended license? The maximum penalty for driving on a suspended license can either be 3 points, a $500.00 fine, and sixty days in jail, or 12 points, a $1000.00 fine and a year in jail depending on the reason for the suspension.
I was driving my commercial vehicle when I got pulled over, how will this affect my Commercial driver’s license (CDL)? The rules for a driver pulled over while operating a commercial motor vehicle are a little bit different. A person operating a commercial motor vehicle faces disqualification of his/her CDL for a period of one year if while driving a commercial motor vehicle: Any person convicted of two or more of any of the above violations will be disqualified for life. The federal government has conditioned availability of highway funds on states enacting more restrictive CDL provisions including disqualifying CDL holders who receive a DUI or DWI while driving a non-commercial vehicle. Maryland is likely to enact such provisions in 2005.
