Appeal vs. Registry of Motor Vehicles
Client was a very pleasant young man. He has no prior criminal record when he was charged with a road rage allegation last summer. That allegation resulted in his license being suspended for what is called an immediate threat. Attorney Barabino and client worked quickly and efficiently to bring the criminal charges to conclusion, however, there was still the immediate threat charge which are not resolved until conclusion of the criminal case. Attorney Barabino and client appeared before the Hearing Officer for the Registry of Motor Vehicles. In the end, the hearing officer partially REINSTATED his license to operate a motor vehicle but made the decision to also continue to suspend his motorcycle license for a period of one year. As a result, Attorney Barabino began the appeal process for overturning that motorcycle suspension. A hearing was held before the panel from the Division of Insurance Board of Appeal that reviews the Registry of Motor Vehicle (RMV) decision, and that entityOVERTURNED the Registry Motorcycle License and ordered the license REINSTATED.
RESULT: Registry License Decision is Overturned License REINSTATED on Appeal
