The RMV Board of Appeal is on the Move
As of March 22, 2010, the Board of Appeal of the Division of Insurance of Consumer Affairs and Business Administration will be moving from its South Station location to the 8th floor of 1000 Washington Street, the former Teradyne Building in Boston’s South End.
The RMV Board of Appeal hears Massachusetts license suspension and reinstatement appeals, as well as ignition interlock violation appeals, and hardship license requests.
At the new location, the Board of Appeal will join other state agencies such as the Division of Banks, Division of Professional Licensure, and the Mass. Dept. of Telecommunications and Cable.
As a Massachusetts DUI Lawyer and hardship license specialist, I appear before the Board of Appeal at least on a weekly basis.
The Board’s new mailing address will be: 1000 Washington Street, 8th floor, Boston MA 02118-2218. However, hardship license and accident surcharge appeal forms will still be mailed to the post office box addresses appearing on the forms. In addition to holding hearings at its new Boston location, the Board will continue to hold hardship license, ignition interlock, and license suspension hearings at its other off-site locations such as the Marlborough District Court.
This move represents and effort on the part of the state to consolidate offices, increase efficiency, and save money on rent. The state executed a 10 year lease for the office space.
I have a suspended license due to a DUI case I lost back in 07. The Registry has an OUI case on my records from 1984. However, there are no court records of the case. I remember what happened the night I was arrested in the parking lot of The Squire club in Revere. I was caught rolling a joint in my car for a girlfriend who worked at the club at the time. I did have to take the driver retraining class as part of the judgement against me. The State trooper who arrested me probably would have let me off with a lesser charge, but I stupidly attempted to dump the pot while he went back to his car and of course he got angry when he came back and realized I had done so. I have found it frustrating and almost impossible to get a hearing down here on the south shore and have been contemplating trying to get this resolved by having a hearing in Boston. What are my chances of winning this appeal as I really don't want an interlocking device installed. I have heard nothing but bad things regarding them.
