Protecting Your License and Your Record
Because DUI/DWI conviction penalties are severe, it is important that you have an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side. An assertive and focused advocate, I am in traffic court regularly. I understand the technicalities of the law and how the law is applied in different situations. I am familiar with police procedures and the forensic examination process. Further, I know the court personnel and how they will likely view evidence in a case.
By thoroughly preparing your case, I can help you put your best foot forward when you go before the judge. I will examine all aspects of your arrest and ask critical questions, such as:
- Did the police have reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle?
- Did the police have probable cause to make an arrest?
- Was an illegal search and seizure performed?
- Were the Breathalyzer test and any field sobriety tests properly performed?
If law enforcement officials made any mistake, I will use that information to build a solid defense strategy. For example, if the Breathalyzer machine was not properly calibrated, I will create a Breathalyzer defense. If the police did not have just cause to search your car, I will pursue a constitutional right violation.
Handling Charges in Virginia and Maryland
Licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, I frequently represent clients who live in one state but are facing charges in the other. However, because each state handles drunk driving cases differently, it is important that you contact me immediately.
- In Maryland, I will represent you in your criminal proceeding, as well as the administrative MVA hearing. At the administrative hearing, I will work hard to help you retain your driver's license.
- In Virginia, there is only one trial date, with no administrative hearing. I will aggressively defend you at the criminal proceeding, working to save your license and preserve your driving record.
