Salisbury DUI Lawyers
- Jannace, Charles:
CRIMINAL DEFENSE.
This area encompasses a vast array of cases, from minor traffic infractions to first degree murder; from juvenile detentions to the potential for life imprisonment. Most cases seem to fall somewhere in between like driving under the influence in major traffic court to felony drug and gun jury trials. Each case is important to the client; each case is handled differently than any other; there is no cookie-cutter approach to handling criminal defense cases.
One important area of criminal defense work is knowing what to do and not to do when you are accused of a crime but have yet to be charged. Many criminal defense attorneys shy away from giving definitive advice when asked seemingly hypothetical but indeed, real life, everyday questions by people who wrongfully or rightfully are the subject of the attention of law enforcement authorities.

- MacDonald, Andrew:
If you have been charged with drunk driving, you need to act quickly to protect your right to drive. In Maryland, if you do not request an administrative hearing with the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) within 10 days after your arrest, your license will be automatically suspended. Don't let it go that far. Call me immediately after your arrest so that we can take the necessary steps to preserve your license.
In many cases there can be much harsher consequences for a driver's license through the MVA administrative process than through the criminal court. I urge you to consult with an attorney early during the MVA process to get competent advice on whether to request a hearing.
- James Anthenelli:
In practice, most criminal cases are resolved through plea bargains,
not trials. The accused may waive the right to a jury trial, but this
must usually be done in writing and before a judge, with some
verification that the accused understands the right waived.
Furthermore, despite the constitutional provision, not all criminal
prosecutions require a jury trial, for example: In many states, there
is no right to a jury in trials of juveniles/minors. The U.S. Supreme
Court has allowed trials without a jury in state and federal courts for
minor offenses that do not carry the threat of prison time or large
fines. One noteworthy decision guarantees the right to jury trial only
for offenses punishable by more than six months in prison and/or a $500
fine. However, trials for multiple offenses, whose aggregate penalties
total that much or more, do not require a jury trial. Those actions
which are not technically criminal, yet can result in imprisonment and
other sanctions, do not entitle the accused to a jury trial. A contempt
proceeding is an example of such an action. However, departure from
this rule has been observed when sanctions are sufficiently serious.
- Robins,
Johnson & Wade: Under Maryland law, any person who drives or
attempts to drive a motor vehicle on a highway or on any private
property that is used by the public in general in this state is deemed
to have consented to take a test if the person should be detained on
suspicion of driving or attempting to drive while intoxicated (DWI) or
under the influence (DUI) of alcohol.
