DUI/DWI
A conviction for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Impaired (DWI) can lead to serious consequences, including incarceration. Aside from the criminal process, the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) will use its own procedures to suspend your license or require an ignition interlock device in order to drive. You only have a very limited time to request a hearing before the MVA.
- Matin, Hammad:
Many DUI consequences are negotiable
Losing your ability to drive is but one negative ramification of a
DUI/DWI conviction. Depending on your alcohol content at the time of
arrest or whether you are a repeat offender, you could face serious jail
time. Remember: never plead guilty without first consulting an
experienced attorney. A skilled DUI lawyer may be able to help you
protect your driving privileges and keep you out of jail.
Everyday more and more southern Maryland residents are being cited for DUI/DWI offenses. Let's face it - driving under the influence and driving while impaired is a serious matter. If you are convicted, you can lose your license or even get a mandatory prison sentence up to three years.
- Jenkins
& Jenkins: If you are charged with a DUI, DWI, Driving While
Suspended and/or Revoked are other serious traffic offenses, they carry
substantial penalties, both by way of fine, potential jail time and
points on your driving record. A lawyer can help you not only by
recognizing technical legal defenses, by knowing what the Judge is
likely to do, given the circumstances of your case and what you can do
to improve the odds of a favorable disposition.
- Wolfgang
& Buchanan: Your lawyer will evaluate your case to see if all of
your Constitutional rights were protected. Was the stopping of your
vehicle legal? Did you voluntarily consent to be searched? Was the
breathalyzer machine working properly? Did you understand your rights
as they were explained? These are some of the issues that your lawyer
will be looking for. In addition to that, your lawyer is also trained
to look for the things that you did right during the stop, and may be
able to use these clues to persuade the prosecutor to give you a better
plea offer.
