Maryland DUI Lawyer Services
If you are issued drunk driving (DUI/DWI) citations, our pricing for a lawyer includes advice and legal representation before the Office Of Administrative Hearings (OAH) for suspension and/or, if applicable to your case, a points conference hearing. These hearings are important facets of your case as they may adversely affect your license and your ability to drive, which naturally may impede your ability to work.
We have prevented in-state clients from having to attend court in Towson, Annapolis, Pasadena, Severna Park, Ellicott City, Baltimore, Dundalk, Glen Burnie, Rockville, Silver Spring, Gaithersburg, Edgewater, or Essex, and Washington DC.
Your DUI Case
Like you, our DUI or DWI lawyers take these cases very seriously. Your Maryland DUI attorney will work tirelessly to get you the best result possible for your drunk driving case.
There are many legal issues in drunk driving, DUI/DWI, license suspension and other traffic cases that an experienced lawyer can manage on your behalf. It is important when you speak to any attorney that you recall every particular fact about your traffic stop, such as:
- 1. The specific words the police officer used
- 2. Whether you were ever asked if you were drunk or intoxicated
- 3. Whether you were given any advice by a police officer (for instance, whether you were told to “blow” or provide a sample of breath for the intoximeter)
- 4. Whether you asked for the chance to speak with your drunk driving DUI DWI lawyer or criminal lawyer
- 5. Whether your attorney was prevented from talking with you
- 6. Whether there were witnesses to any “test” for sobriety (for instance, the Standard Field Sobriety Tests)
- 7. What the police officer told you about these tests
- 8. Whether you refused to provide a sample of breath
