MVA Hearing Information
Hearings are held at the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). An administrative law judge will hear your case and notify the MVA of the hearing disposition. The MVA will then update your driving record and actions will be taken if applicable.

Do I need an attorney or can I represent myself?
An individual may represent him/herself in any administrative hearing and no individual is required to have an attorney. If you choose to be represented, in most cases, that representative must be an attorney. Attorneys may help you better understand the law and how to present your case.
In certain types of hearings however, you may be represented by someone who is not an attorney. These hearings include, but are not limited to the following: a personnel hearing in which a state employee may be represented by an employee of a union; or a hearing addressing issues regarding medical assistance, food stamps, temporary cash assistance, and other entitlement programs administered by the Department of Social Services.
Maryland law generally provides that an attorney must represent a corporation appearing before the OAH.
