MVA Hearing Notice in Glen Burnie? We Can Protect Your License.
If you’ve been notified of an MVA Hearing, your driving privileges may be at risk. Whether the notice involves a DUI stop, too many points, a test refusal, or a medical fitness review, the outcome of your hearing could result in license suspension, revocation, or strict driving restrictions.
The Law Offices of David R. Waranch represents drivers throughout Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, and Maryland in MVA hearings. We understand how Administrative Law Judges evaluate these cases and how to build a strong defense to protect your ability to drive.
What Is an MVA Hearing?
An MVA hearing is an administrative proceeding held before the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). Its only purpose is to determine what happens to your driving privileges.
This is not a criminal trial — it’s entirely about whether your license is suspended, restricted, revoked, or preserved.
Why You May Have an MVA Hearing
You may be required to attend a hearing due to:
- DUI or DWI stop (failure, refusal, or conviction)
- Accumulated points on your record
- Provisional license violations
- Medical review hearings
- Underage alcohol violations
- Driving while suspended or revoked
Your notice includes a strict deadline — if you miss it, suspension happens automatically.
Deadlines Matter — Act Fast
Most drivers only have 10–30 days from the date on their MVA notice to submit a hearing request. The countdown begins as soon as the notice is issued or when DUI paperwork is given.
Missing the deadline results in an automatic suspension — even if the facts justify keeping your license.
