Maryland drunk driving defense law firm

Attorney Richard F. Kodzis (often called Dick Kodzis by his clients) represents people in both the administrative (MVA hearings) and judicial processes involved in drunk driving defense.

All drunk driving charges in the state of Maryland are criminal offenses. As such, a conviction will result in a criminal record that can and often will prevent a person from obtaining particular jobs. Many times, people are terminated from jobs as a result of a criminal record.

Maryland MVA hearings attorneys

Attorney Richard F. Kodzis represents people who have been arrested for driving while intoxicated - often referred to as a DUI or DWI in Maryland - and are facing suspension or revocation of their driving privileges, as well as those people who are facing prosecution for other serious traffic violations that will result in their driver's license being suspended or revoked.

In a hearing before the Office of Administrative Hearings, Attorney Kodzis challenges the MVA's attempt to suspend or revoke the client's license.

While the term MVA hearing implies that the matter is similar to a trial in a Court of law of Maryland, that is not the case. An MVA hearing is before an administrative judge who cannot sentence a person to jail; a hearing in a Maryland Court is before a criminal justice judge who can impose penalties including fines and jail time.

The outcome of the MVA hearing has no bearing upon the Maryland Court trial or its outcome.
