• Jonathan Smith: A drunk driving conviction in Maryland carries harsh consequences. Conviction can result in penalties that include loss of a driver's license; large fines and court costs; probation; house arrest; alcohol treatment; and jail time. Repeat offenders are routinely being sent to jail. When a police officer stops a driver, and has reason to believe the driver has been drinking, the police officer can request an alcohol test (breath test or blood test). If the driver refuses an alcohol test, or if an alcohol test reveals a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more, the driver's license will be seized or confiscated on the scene, and the driver will be arrested and charged with drunk driving (DUI/DWI). If you have been accused of drunk driving, you need an experienced drunk driving defense attorney to protect you, and to fight for you.
• William Tucker: A "compact" can be an agreement among states regarding a matter of mutual interest. As the automobile became more ubiquitous, states began signing compacts to share information regarding drivers and traffic violations. The Driver License Compact (DLC) and Nonresident Violator Compact (NRVC) constitute such agreements and have facilitated the sharing of driver information to advance highway safety and related goals.
• Scott Athen: Being arrested for "Driving While Intoxicated" doesn't have to be a devastating experience. Even though a suspension or revocation of your driver's license and being convicted of a DWI can lead to unemployment, increase or cancellation of auto insurance, jail and loss of reputation, DWI cases can be successfully defended by an experienced attorney!
• Charles Fuller: DUI / DWI-Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction on DUI/DWI charges may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license, and possible jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.
