Help with MA DMV Hearing…
Briefly-2003-husband arrested in NH for DUI-lost license (NH) for 18 months, ordered to attend treatment program2005-husband attempts to have license reinstated, is told by NH DMV there is an issue with MA. Went to MA DMV, they claim he had a prior DUI that was not served. However, there is a error in their records as he had 2 DUI’s from the same time period which should have been grouped together…time served concurrently…this was an agreement worked out by his lawyer.2008-husband had hearing for arrest 12/24/07 for driving under suspension. Hired a lawyer who found an error in original 2003 arrest, basically reduced the charge to driving without his license in his possession.Still does not have his license. We are currently separated, he is living in MA with his elderly parents and could really benefit from having his license to help them out.We have very little money. We were forced to file bankruptcy last year. We are losing our home to foreclosure. He is on SSDI, so he has limited income. Is there any legal assistance available to him?
