Washington County DUI Lawyer

DUI charges are never easy matters. They are highly emotional and highly embarrassing, and many people who have been arrested and charged with a DUI feel alone and isolated in their fear and concern. Drunk driving charges are among the most common criminal charges people face, but they do not need to be faced alone. A Washington County DUI lawyer is prepared to take on your case and help you minimize the harm of your charges. Call today to discuss your case with a DUI lawyer in Maryland.

DUI Charges in Washington County

Many people think they can talk their way out of a drunk driving charge. These individuals are overwhelmingly incorrect. More often than not, discussing the events surrounding your evening (where you were drinking, who you were with, how many drinks you consumed, etc.) with the police officer who pulled you over is not beneficial – in fact, it can be detrimental to your case. These details can be used against you as evidence in court and are likely to be. A knowledgeable attorney with our firm knows how to present a strong case for you and can mitigate any damage you may have done to your case by volunteering too much information to the police officer who arrested you. Our attorneys have a plethora of strategies and tactics that can be applied to your case and they can use whichever ones are necessary for your circumstances.

What To Do After Being Charged

Being charged with driving under the influence is no joking matter. People who are in this situation would be wise to secure legal counsel as quickly as possible so as to increase their chances of success when their day in court arrives. Our team of skilled Washington County DUI lawyers can be that legal counsel for you and can offer alternatives to spending time in jail. These alternatives include performing community service, paying fines, or going to mandatory alcohol education classes. Any of these options is better than going to jail. If there is questionable evidence being presented against you, your attorney may opt to take your case to trial so that you have no negative consequences whatsoever moving into the future.
