Do You Need a Howard County DUI Attorney?

In Maryland, a driver can be convicted of driving under the influence if he or she is caught driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or greater.  Many people, however, do not realize that a driver may be charged with an alcohol related driving offense with an even lower BAC.  Driving while intoxicated (DWI) may be charged even if a driver’s BAC is below the legal limit of 0.08.  With fines, driving restrictions, license suspension, and jail time as possible consequences of even a first offense DUI, it is important that anyone charged contact an experienced Howard County DUI Attorney.  A skilled lawyer can carefully evaluate the circumstances of your case to find the best possible strategy for your defense

Howard County DUI Lawyers Offering Strong DUI Defense

Though many people picture a DUI arrest stemming from wildly erratic driving or even a terrible accident, in fact, many DUI arrests are the result of a seemingly minor traffic stop.  If you are pulled over and an officer suspects you may be intoxicated, you will likely be asked to perform a variety of field sobriety tests or even take a portable breath test.  Based on the results of these tests and the officer’s observations, you may be arrested on suspicion of DUI.  After your arrest, you will be asked to perform a chemical blood analysis.  While you are entitled to refuse the roadside breath test and the field sobriety tests, under Maryland’s implied consent laws, you must submit to chemical blood testing after a DUI arrest.  Your refusal to submit will result in the suspension of your license regardless of the outcome of your DUI case.  The Howard County DUI Lawyers with our firm are highly qualified attorneys well-equipped to provide quality DUI defense even in the face of incriminating blood alcohol analysis results.
