MVA Hearings

Annapolis MVA Hearing Lawyers

Many people are not represented by a lawyer in Motor Vehicle Administration hearings in and in Anne Arundel County and other Maryland counties. When their pleadings are rejected by MVA administrative law judges, and they realize they have lost their driving privileges, they often wish they had hired a professional to present their case.

You are not summoned to an MVA hearing. They are held at your request, which must be made within certain time limits. If you are charged with DUI, for instance, and you are given a notice of driver’s license suspension by the arresting officer, you must act quickly. If you try to schedule a hearing after 30 days have elapsed, your request will be refused. Your suspension will be automatic, starting 46 days after the day of your arrest. If you wait more than 10 days to request a hearing, you may not be able to drive from the 46th.

Suspensions occur for a variety of reasons:

  • You were arrested for drunk driving.
  • You failed to appear in court for a minor traffic violation.
  • You did not pay a Maryland traffic ticket.
  • You did not pay an out-of-state traffic ticket.
  • You accumulated too many points against your license.
  • You did not pay child support as ordered.
  • You did not pay a civil judgment related to an automobile accident.

Murphy & Price, LLP, employs different defenses of your driving privileges, depending on your situation. We investigate whether the police followed proper procedure in advising you of your rights about taking the Breathalyzer test. Your request to call your attorney may have been ignored. If there was any kind of coercion or improper procedure regarding the test, that is not allowed.

There are many moments in an arrest when illegalities can occur. We work to enforce your rights under these circumstances.

  • "With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible."

    Mr. Price represented me in a Domestic Violence case. After a little over a year, the case against me was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Price and his office were incredible in communicating and seeing my needs. With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible.

    Warren works really hard for his clients and cares deeply about them. For Warren, it is not just a job, but a calling. He is a man of great character and is also a brilliant lawyer, with a top-notch education. If someone needs a criminal defense lawyer or UCMJ counsel in Colorado, I cannot think of anyone I would highly recommend.

    Mr. Murphy and Mr. Price were the first attorneys I ever worked with. They took time to explain each aspect of my case and made themselves available whenever I needed them. They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence. I would highly recommend their firm. Not only are they great attorneys, but I would also consider them my friends.

  • "He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case."

    I hired Mr. Murphy in the last second of administrative discharge. He gathered the evidence in a very short period of time because he knows a lot of people except, relationships with other lawyers. He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case. I believe he is a great attorney and he deserves more than 5 stars.

  • "This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught."

    If I had not hired Mr. Price for my case I am certain that I wouldn’t have had the same outcome. The way he understood my concerns and fought to get my voice heard by the prosecution was more than I could have ever asked for. This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught in an institution. His character is not something you can buy with just any attorney. Thank you so much for accomplishing the impossible. Thank you for your heart and determination. Thank you for fighting for me and most importantly thank you for granting me peace. You’ll never know what a blessing this has been for me and my family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
