Criminal Defense A Good Lawyer Can Make All The Difference In Criminal
Cases If there is anything that someone accused of a crime should know
it's the importance of securing a good lawyer immediately. A good
lawyer can make sure that your arrest was conducted properly. Any
discrepancy in police procedures, arrests, or search and seizure may
cause a case to be thrown out. Even if the accused has already
confessed, a good lawyer can achieve a settlement that reduces the
punishment and helps avoid jail time.

- Edward
Stone: DUI-DWI: The terms DUI and DWI are often used interchangeably.
They shouldn't be. While it is true that the offenses share the same
elements, they carry separate and distinct penalties.
- Hillman,
Brown & Darrow: In Maryland, the implied consent statute (TR
16©205.1) requires that an individual who is caught driving while
intoxicated have their license suspended for a period of 45 days to one
year. In addition, the driver is subject to criminal sanction of, for a
first offense of up to $1000.00 and up to one year in jail. In my case,
it may appear that that my client would get off without any problem
because the officer did not see my client driving. If you think that
you would be right and wrong. Under the implied consent statute, the
driver is subject to sanction if, among other things, the officer has
reasonable grounds to believe the driver was driving or attempting to
drive while intoxicated. Therefore, the driver could be subject to
sanctions even if the officer did not see anything if the circumstances
of the stop would indicate the suspect was driving. This is so because
the implied consent statute is administrative in nature, not criminal.
Since, your life and liberty is not in jeopardy, the officer does not
have to prove his case to a criminal standard.
