Elkton DUI Lawyers
- Thomas Brown:
DUI / DWI (Drunk Driving)
Driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while impaired (DWI) are matters that require the attention of a knowledgeable lawyer.
- William Riddle:
Were you pulled over for drunk driving? Are you thinking of pleading guilty without talking to an attorney? Donšt do it.
The consequences of a drunk-driving conviction are severe. Depending upon your past drunk-driving record, your blood alcohol content, and other factors, you could be facing license revocation, jail time, stiff fines, and other DUI penalties.
- John Downs:
Each year, many people are arrested for drunk driving on roads such as Route 40 and Interstate 95 in Maryland. If you have been arrested for drunk driving, calling an experienced lawyer as soon as possible can make critical differences in your case.
- William Davis:
DUI / DWI
Drunk driving is a serious charge. You need a serious defense.
- Michael Onifer:
Criminal charges are serious matters, whether it is a misdemeanor or a
felony, whether or not you see the inside of a jail cell and or how
long depends on hiring the right attorney.
- Scott & Scott:
Performing field sobriety tests (walking the line, one leg stand, etc.)
are purely optional. Always decline to perform these tests if you have
had too much to drink. Poor performance on these tests only builds the
state's case against you. On the other hand, the roadside breath test
(PBT-preliminary breath test) is not admissible in Court and submitting
to this test is okay if you have only had a couple of drinks. If you
pass the PBT the officer may let you go. Maryland has now enacted a .08
limit for driving while intoxicated. The limit for driving impaired is
.07. If you take the breath test at the police station you are almost
always assuring your conviction. You have an absolute right to refuse
the breath test at the police station. While this will result in
suspension of your drivers license (or your privilege to drive in
Maryland if you have an out of state license), Maryland drivers can
receive a restricted work license for their first test refusal. If you
refuse the test, the police officer will issue you a temporary license
along with a hearing request copy. You must send in the hearing request
copy within ten (10) days of your arrest to make sure that your license
is not suspended before the hearing to obtain a restricted license.
Never make a statement to the police about how much you had to drink
without first consulting with an attorney.
