Protecting Your Driver’s License After You’ve Been Charged With Driving Drunk

Your Maryland driving privileges are in jeopardy if you have been charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence). The MVA can suspend your license-- even before you have been found guilty. Your options depend on the circumstances of your case.

As your Maryland DUI attorney, I may be able to protect your driving privileges by doing the following things:

• Requesting a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge;
• Helping you avoid losing your privileges between now and the hearing;
• Challenging the evidence against you, and how it was gathered;
• Negotiating with the MVA, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), and the State’s Attorney, as necessary and appropriate; and
• Exploring compromises so you can still drive, including ignition interlock, treatment programs, shorter suspensions, restricted licenses, and reduced fines.
