Have you recently been accused of a DUI? Do you feel confused and trapped by your situation? Perhaps you were arrested and brought to the police station pending charges. You may feel that a conviction is imminent, since your breathalyzer test showed your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) to be over .08. But it’s important not to panic but rather call a Germantown DUI lawyer.

There can be no question that you don’t want to suffer the consequences of a DUI conviction. They can have a negative impact on your future for years to come in Maryland. In addition to fines and points on your license, your may have your driving rights permanently revoked, or even go to jail. Even if you manage to retain your freedom and your license, skyrocketing insurance premiums from a conviction may put driving out of your reach forever. A DUI conviction can also mean job loss and job insecurity. Even if you had only a single offense, many employers don’t want to risk, or are unable to hire, those with such convictions.

Each case is different, so until a Germantown DUI attorney discusses your case with you, they won’t know the best way to defend it. There are several possible options, however. One is to plea to a lesser charge. Another is to negotiate sentencing options (such as probation before judgment, or PBJ). If you are granted PBJ, you are rewarded with a clean record if you successfully complete your probation. But the most appropriate strategy can only be found by carefully reviewing your case.

Our firm has highly trained attorneys, complete with the resources and experience to defend cases like yours. We examine any police procedures used in your initial traffic stop, sobriety testing – even your arrest, if needed, so that we can uphold your civil rights in the criminal justice system.
