In most DWI / DUI conviction cases time is of the essence. The sooner you secure legal counsel, the better your chances of avoiding a Maryland drunk driving conviction and retaining your driver’s license. Maryland’s prosecutors do not take DUI offenses lightly and even first-time offenders could face some of the state’s harshest penalties. These include:
- Jail time and/or other forms of punishment
- You may lose your license
- You may be fined or put on probation
- You may face large increases in your car insurance premiums
Maryland drivers should be knowledgeable of their rights under the law and obtain a skilled Maryland DUI / DWI defense attorney to share their side of the story.
It’s all important to note that once you have been charged with a DUI, you should not plead guilty to a DUI charge before speaking with an attorney. Maryland’s DUI laws are highly technical. Even if you were over the legal limit, you may have a viable defense.
- You were illegally stopped
- Officers failed to properly conduct field sobriety tests
- You were not advised of your rights
- Misconduct occurred during your arrest
- BAC equipment was not properly maintained / calibrated / administered
- You were denied your right to speak to an attorney
We understand that most DUI/DWI charges can be a frightening and traumatic experience. It’s our mission to provide you with immediate answers to questions regarding jail time, potential sentencing outcomes, impact on driving record and driver’s license, employment, security clearance and more. We will evaluate the unique details of your case and explain what you need to do now to protect your license, your job and prepare an aggressive legal defense against the charges brought forth.
If retained to handle your case, Hirsch & Cosca will carefully analyze police conduct that led to your arrest to determine if any procedural errors occurred that we can use to your advantage.
Building a strong case allows us to pursue a charge dismissal, an acquittal (not guilty) at trial, a favorable plea agreement that enables you to avoid a criminal conviction, or possibly plead guilty to a lesser offense to minimize the penalties arising from your charges.
Even if you do not wish to fight your charges at trial, gathering evidence and identifying viable defenses are critical to gaining the leverage necessary to obtain a favorable resolution to your case. We provide an aggressive and comprehensive legal defense for our clients that we tailor to the unique situation of the case and to your individualized objectives.
