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.

An interlock is a device that is installed in your car that is about the size of a cell phone with a mouthpiece on it. The device connects a motor vehicle ignition to a breath analyzer that measures a driver’s blood alcohol and prevents a motor vehicle ignition from starting if a driver’s blood alcohol level exceeds the calibrated setting on the device. A driver must blow into the device in order to start the car, and then periodically while driving when ever the device beeps.

In Maryland, a driver may request a modification of any non-mandatory suspension that will allow the driver to drive with an interlock. Other individuals who may be required to participate in the ignition interlock program are, individual’s whose licenses are suspended or revoked for a conviction of drunk driving, individual’s ordered to participate by the court, an individual violates an alcohol restriction on his/her license. A person under 21 convicted of drunk driving may be required to participate in the ignition interlock program for a period of not more than three years to retain his/her license. An individual whose license is suspended for a fourth or greater offense of drunk driving is considered a habitual offender and that person’s license may not be reinstated unless the individual participates in the interlock program for at least 24 months.

A licensee may appeal from a decision by the administration to the circuit court within 30 days of the decision. It is not guaranteed that the administration will allow a delay of the license suspension pending appeal. The licensee must request a stay of the suspension in writing, and the administration then has the discretion to grant or deny the stay.
