Anne Arundel County DUI Lawyer

Drunk driving charges are very serious matters that should be handled with caution by a legal professional.They are so serious, in fact, that even one conviction can spell out certain outcomes that are not pleasant to consider. These outcomes include jail time, points on your license, higher insurance premiums, and loss of employment. In Anne Arundel County, prosecutors eagerly seek stiff penalties for those charged with a DUI. Fortunately, an Anne Arundel County DUI lawyer is here to help you beat your charges and get on with your life. Call today and discuss your case with a Maryland DUI lawyer.

Qualified Anne Arundel County DUI Attorney

One of the reasons prosecutors are so eager to ask a judge for harsh penalties for drunk driving is the fact that Anne Arundel County is a center of tourism for Maryland. Located in the central part of the state and home to the state capital, Annapolis, its scenic beauty and tourist industry attract thousands of people every year. Prosecutors use the danger that a person who is driving drunk can pose to crowds and the interest of preserving the peace in this tourist spot as justifications as to why someone charged with a DUI should be punished severely. The Anne Arundel DUI attorneys with our firm can build a defense for you and demonstrate why reasons like tourist attractiveness are not reasons for why people should be more severely punished when they get a DUI. Your attorney can craft compelling arguments on your behalf and can present these arguments at every stage of your case.
If someone has been arrested for a DUI and is subsequently released from holding, they will need information on tracking down their vehicle and getting it back into their possession. With an experienced local attorney, the process can be expedited because the attorney will have knowledge on places the vehicle may be.

Knowledgeable Anne Arundel County DUI Lawyers

DUI law is complicated and often difficult to understand. In Maryland, the Shelter Doctrine plays a large role in DUI cases in addition to discussions on the definition of driving. Additionally, if someone has been charged with a DUI while they are on probation for another criminal offense, navigating those circumstances becomes much trickier. Luckily, the knowledgeable attorneys with our firm understand this area of law very well and are able to use that knowledge to better represent you in your case.
Our attorneys not only know about the relevant state laws as they currently stand, but they stay on top of all developments and new findings that the courts issue. They can apply the latest case law and statutes that help your case and can explain those parts of the case to you. Our attorneys have no problem taking the time to clarify difficult or confusing concepts and want you to stay informed of all stages of your case. An experienced local attorney can keep clients informed on possible mitigating factors they can consider, like voluntarily participating in a DUI educational program.
Part of a strong defense includes knowing what additional steps can be taken to provide evidence of a person’s innocence. A lawyer who has experience and has handled these cases before will be able to advise a person on whether or not they should submit to independent testing, but that can only be done if a lawyer is retained as soon as possible after a DUI arrest.

Finding an Experienced Local Attorney

Our attorneys can play a huge role in your case’s success. Far too often, those facing criminal charges mistakenly believe that they are well-versed enough in the law that they can handle their cases on their own.

Arrest records are public, meaning that any person interested in researching your history can access that information. Don’t make that mistake – let us help you with your case starting today; experience the difference that a competent, licensed legal professional can make for you. When you hire an attorney early on in the process, they can guide you through the pre-trial release and bond process.
