License Revoked or Suspended in Massachusetts? We Can Help.

Losing your driver’s license can feel like losing your freedom. In Massachusetts, a license suspension or revocation can seriously disrupt your life—making it difficult to get to work, care for your family, or meet everyday obligations. If your license has been suspended or revoked, or if you’re seeking to obtain a hardship license, the attorneys at Briones Law Group are here to guide you through the process and fight for the best possible outcome.

We have extensive experience handling criminal traffic violations, OUI-related suspensions, and hardship license applications across Massachusetts.

Why Your License May Be Suspended or Revoked
The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) has the authority to suspend or revoke your driver’s license for a number of reasons, including both criminal and civil traffic offenses. Common reasons include:

• Three or more speeding violations within a 12-month period

• Excessive surchargeable events, such as multiple at-fault accidents or moving violations

• Being classified as a habitual traffic offender, which involves accumulating 12 or more surchargeable offenses over time—resulting in a license loss of up to four years

• Operating Under the Influence (OUI) conviction or refusal to take a Breathalyzer test

• Criminal motor vehicle offenses, such as stealing a car, leaving the scene of an accident, or reckless operation

Driving while your license is suspended or revoked is a criminal offense that can result in additional fines, extended suspension, or even jail time. That’s why it’s critical to take action immediately and work with a qualified attorney to resolve the issue and explore your legal options.

Hardship Licenses in Massachusetts
In some cases, individuals with a revoked or suspended license may qualify for a Massachusetts hardship license, also known as a Cinderella license. This restricted license allows you to drive for specific purposes—such as commuting to work, attending school, or traveling to medical appointments—during designated hours.

To be eligible for a hardship license, you must meet several important criteria:

• No evidence of driving while your license was suspended or revoked

• Completion of the minimum suspension or revocation period required by the RMV

• Proof of hardship, such as employment verification, school enrollment, or medical necessity

• Completion of any required alcohol education, drug treatment programs, or traffic safety courses

• Payment of all outstanding fines and fees

It’s important to understand that meeting these criteria does not guarantee approval. The final decision rests with the RMV hearing officer, who has discretion to grant or deny your hardship license application.
