Avoiding a Maryland DUI or DWI Conviction
Jail time, fines, and the loss of driving privileges, professional licenses, and security clearances are only some of the punishments that can come with a DWI or DUI conviction. Case-specific factors, such as your blood alcohol concentration level, whether you caused a collision that resulted in injuries or fatalities, and prior convictions, can determine both your specific charges and the penalties a conviction could bring.
You cannot beat your charges unless you fight them, and you cannot fight them effectively without the right attorney handling your case. We offer free consultations, so give us a call to see for yourself what a difference an experienced lawyer can make.
DUI/DWI FAQs
Alcohol is not the only substance that can impair your driving abilities. Cannabis, other recreational drugs, and some prescription and over-the-counter drugs can make driving unsafe and increase the likelihood of causing accidents. Excessive fatigue can also cause similar impairments. If an officer believes your ability to drive safely is impaired, they may arrest you and charge you with DUI or DWI. Your attorney will help you fight your charges.
In Maryland, the state maintains DUI arrest records, and they could be visible in background checks run by potential employers, landlords, and lending institutions even years after a case has been resolved. An arrest record does not necessarily reflect the outcome of your case, only the fact that you were arrested. If your case was dismissed or if you were not convicted, you may be able to apply for expungement to have the arrest records removed. While records of DUI convictions generally cannot be expunged, a case resolved through probation before judgment will be eligible for expungement after 15 years.
