If you are accused of a DUI, you may be in for an overwhelming experience. It might begin with a trip to your local police department, or even jail. You may be under the impression that your breathalyzer test results and your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) have sealed your fate. But don’t worry because a Potomac DUI lawyer knows better.

Potomac DUI attorneys help their clients understand the consequences of a DUI conviction in Maryland, as well as how penalties may affect them. Penalties may include:

·         Fines

·         Driver’s license suspension

·         Points against your license

·         Skyrocketing insurance premiums

·         Limited employment opportunities

·         Jail time

Of course, not all of these penalties are guaranteed with every case. Discussing your situation with an attorney is the smartest way to build a strong defense. When you have a knowledgeable attorney, you aren’t alone, or trapped in any way simply because of a charge that involves driving under the influence. Trust the skilled legal professionals who have the experience and resources to help you.

Even though things may seem hopeless to you, a lawyer can do a great deal to make your legal situation better. The very fact that you hired outside representation shows the criminal justice system you take the charge seriously, and are prepared to vigorously defend yourself – with a professional’s help.

Depending upon your individual charge, a lawyer may be able to negotiate a lesser charge, or sentencing options (such as such as probation before judgment, or PBJ). If your attorney succeeds in getting you PBJ, you’ll be rewarded with a clean record once you successfully finish your probation. At times, it’s necessary to fight a DUI charge in court — this is also something an attorney can help with.
