Important Information in DUI Cases
MY RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU
My responsibility to you is to require the State to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and to challenge the evidence in every way possible. Not every case is defensible by trial. When a trial is foolish, my responsibility is to try to reduce the seriousness of the charge. There is a vast difference in the maximum for punishment for Driving Under the Influence and Driving while Impaired by Alcohol. The more serious charge carries a maximum of 1 year in jail and the lesser charge carries 60 days. There is a difference in fines and point assessments by the MVA. For repeat offenders the difference in sentences is even greater. The MVA impact for nonresidents in their home State is often times worse than in Maryland. It is my responsibility to reduce the risk of punishment and loss of license.
