About Us

Meet Hardship License Attorney Brian E. Simoneau

Attorney Brian E. Simoneau — Brian E. Simoneau Attorney

Attorney Brian E. Simoneau has dedicated his law practice in Massachusetts to helping clients navigate complex license suspension, revocation, and reinstatement matters. With over 20 years of experience—since his admission to the bar in 2001—he is widely recognized as a statewide authority in RMV-related advocacy.

Before becoming an attorney, Brian served as a police officer in Massachusetts—investigating accidents, issuing citations, making DUI arrests, and collaborating with the RMV’s Enforcement Services Division on license fraud investigations. He became certified to operate traffic radar, administer infrared breath tests, and conduct NHTSA-standardized field sobriety tests.

Attorney Simoneau is a co-author of Obtaining, Losing, and Seeking Reinstatement of Driver’s Licenses (also known in some references as Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Offenses – Criminal, Civil, and Registry Practice). This guide is the go-to reference for lawyers handling RMV hearings, hardship license applications, and Board of Appeal cases.

Brian has achieved significant results for clients facing RMV sanctions. He routinely represents individuals before:

The RMV Driver Control Unit and RMV Hearing Officers
The Division of Insurance Board of Appeals
District, Superior, and Appellate Courts across Massachusetts, including the Supreme Judicial Court

His notable highlights include authoring an amicus curiae brief in Souza v. Registrar of Motor Vehicles, which led the SJC to rule that the RMV had improperly suspended the licenses of thousands of drivers for refusing breathalyzer tests.
