If you are facing a DUI charge in Maryland, and failed a breathalyzer test, you may feel trapped and frightened. You may be under the impression that a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) above .08 leaves you no way of avoiding the serious consequences of a conviction. But there may be hope – with a Wheaton DUI lawyer.

Your attorney knows that you don’t want to suffer the consequences of a DUI conviction. They can be quite serious, and range from fines and driver’s license points, to outright suspensions and revocations. You can even serve long jail sentences, especially for multiple offenses. Even if you avoid substantial legal penalties, the insurance premiums and diminished employment opportunities that may result from a conviction can change your life forever. If you are interested in avoiding these issues, legal representation is advisable.

Many defendants feel trapped when they encounter a DUI charge, but with attorneys, that is often no longer the case. These skilled professionals can give you options that, on your own, you never would have known you had.

It depends on the circumstances of your case, but you may be surprised at what an attorney can do to better your situation. For instance, they may be able to:

·         Coordinate a plea to a lesser charge

·         Negotiate sentencing options

·         Fight the DUI charge at trial and work towards an acquittal
