Cecil County DUI / DWI Lawyers

Driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while impaired (DWI) charges can happen to anyone, you are not alone. It is imperative that you have a capable and competent defense attorney who is knowledgeable of local DWI/DUI laws to assist in protecting your rights, liberty and privilege to drive.

MVA Hearing

YOU ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS! If you do not react quickly, your Maryland driving privilege can be suspended from anywhere between 45 to 120 days due to your pending DUI/DWI charge. Our lawyers can assist you in filing for an MVA hearing as well as representing you at that hearing. Did you know that it is relatively easy to get a work license in Maryland? But you cannot get it unless you request an MVA hearing. Let our lawyers help you stay on the road.

Field Sobriety Test

Maryland officers conduct a number of tests to determine if they have probable cause to arrest you for driving under the influence. These tests include walk and turn, one leg stand, horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN), counting and the alphabet. Your performance on these tests can mean the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Our lawyers are familiar with these tests and how they are to be administered.

Breathalyzer

The legal blood alcohol level is .08. Blowing the legal limit or higher is considered per se under the influence. Did you know that there are certain procedures the police must abide by when administering the breathalyzer? Do not get convicted of a DUI/DWI if the police did not follow proper procedure.

Probation Before Judgment (PBJ)

Are you familiar with a PBJ? No, it does not mean peanut butter and jelly. PBJ, or probation before judgment, is a tool that is often used for DUI/DWI first offenders in order to protect their driving records. This disposition allows a defendant to be placed on probation instead of receiving a conviction. If you receive a PBJ you do not get points or a suspension attached to your license.
