Many individuals don’t know what to do after they receive a DUI charge in Maryland. Sitting in the county jail, thinking about their options, they may be disappointed over a failed breathalyzer test. They may believe that a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) above .08 means they will definitely be convicted of a driving offense. But a Baltimore County DUI lawyer knows that does not have to happen.

Although it’s important not panic, there are several consequences of a DUI conviction in Maryland that you should be aware of. They can include:

•        Fines
•        Driver’s license suspension or revocation
•        Points against your license
•        Raised insurance premiums
•        Jail time
•        Reduced employment opportunities

The most important thing to do to avoid these penalties is to hire an attorney. They will try to keep your criminal record as clean as possible, and build the strongest defense they can for your case.

Although we have to examine your case first, there is likely a great deal we can do to assist you. Often, we are able to help defendants plea to lesser charges, or obtain probation before judgment (PBJ). A PBJ gives you a clean record once you’re finished with probation, as long as you follow the terms of the probation agreement. A Baltimore County DUI attorney from our firm might also elect to take the case to trial if he thinks it will help your cause.

The highly trained attorneys at our firm have the skills to defend your case in numerous ways, depending upon your circumstances. Ensuring that your rights are protected is only one of the many services we provide. We will not hesitate to call into question police procedures, including those used in your initial traffic stop, sobriety testing, and even the arrest itself if we think it will help.
