Maryland DUI & DWI Defense Attorney 

If you’ve been charged with DUI or DWI in Maryland, your license, your record, and your freedom may be at risk.

A Maryland DUI case involves both the criminal court process and the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) - with strict deadlines.

An arrest does not mean a conviction.

The good news is, you’re in the right place to get support with this charge. 

MVA License Suspension Process

Separate from the criminal case, the MVA may initiate an administrative suspension of your driving privileges. You typically have only ten days to request a hearing to protect your license. Failing to act quickly can result in automatic suspension - even before the court date.

How Maryland DUI and DWI Charges Work

Criminal Court Proceedings

A DUI or DWI charge begins in the District Court of Maryland. Depending on the circumstances, penalties may include fines, probation, ignition interlock requirements, or jail exposure. The prosecution must prove impairment or intoxication beyond a reasonable doubt.

Defenses may involve challenges to the legality of the stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, the reliability of breath or blood testing, or procedural violations.

    Every case is different. The outcome depends on the facts, your record, and how the evidence was obtained and handled.

If You Are Stopped for DUI/DWI in Maryland

If you are stopped by police:

  • Do not make admissions about drinking or drug use.

  • You are not required to perform filed sobriety testing.

  • Understand that roadside preliminary breath testing is different from the official station test.

  • Remain respectful and request to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
