No one wants to be hauled away to the local jail on a DUI charge. The experience can make you feel overwhelmed, intimidated, and trapped, to say the least. When defendants believe they were forced to complete a breathalyzer and their blood alcohol level will make the charge stick, that’s when it is time to call a lawyer.

The penalties of a DUI conviction in Maryland can change your life forever. You may have to pay steep fines, huge insurance premium increases, or get points on your license. You might even go to jail. The consequences for more than one offense can be even worse. Many employers don’t want to hire someone with even one DUI on their record. You could lose your job, or be unable to obtain another one due to a conviction. But an attorney may be able to help.

Even when you think that nothing can be done for your case, there is much that a knowledgeable lawyer can do. They can talk to the prosecutor about having you plea to a lesser charge, or work towards alternate sentencing options. For instance, probation before judgment, or PBJ, may be one such option.  PBJ results in a clean record upon successful completion of the terms of your probation. A DUI attorney may also elect to fight the charge at trial.
