Challenging breathalyzer and blood test evidence
Even if you tested above the legal limit in a breathalyzer or blood alcohol test, we can challenge the evidence that was submitted against you. After your arrest, our primary attorney will subpoena all records of the breath test to look for technical weaknesses in BAC evidence.

If the test was improperly administered or performed by an uncertified or inexperienced officer or technician, we may be able to get the evidence suppressed. Furthermore, if your breathalyzer or blood alcohol test was illegally obtained through an unlawful stop, we will work to prevent that evidence from entering in your case.

Aggravated offenses
If you were involved in an accident, or if you are being charged with vehicular homicide or manslaughter, you will definitely need an attorney to defend your rights. A drunk driving accident that leads to an injury or death could result in serious penalties. We will offer aggressive and strategic criminal defense to protect your rights.

DUI vs. DWI
These are two different offenses in Maryland. Driving under the influence (DUI) is the more serious of the charges, for drivers with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. Driving while impaired, (DWI) is a lesser offense.

Mandatory license suspension upon conviction
In the event that you are convicted of a DUI or DWI, your license may be automatically suspended or revoked. However, there is a possibility of saving conviction points for traffic violations. We may be able to negotiate probation before judgment, which may prevent a license suspension or revocation, and may prevent the adverse auto insurance implications of a conviction.
