DUI and DWI Defense
Elkton, Maryland: DUI and DWI Defense Lawyers
Why is it important to hire a defense lawyer as soon as possible after a DUI & DWI arrest? An experienced DUI & DWI defense lawyer can:
- Help you keep your driver's license by requesting an administrative hearing within the 10-day time frame
- Investigate the circumstances of your arrest, looking for irregularities that can be used to negotiate a dismissal or obtain a plea to a lesser offense
- Take your case to trial, to fight for a not-guilty verdict
The most important thing to know about DUI & DWI arrests is that you have only 10 days from the date of the drunk driving arrest to request an administrative hearing with the Maryland Motor Vehicles Association to appeal the suspension of your driver's license. If your DUI & DWI defense lawyer requests the driver's hearing within the 10-day deadline, then you will be allowed to keep your driver's license until the date of the hearing.
Rollins Law Group — Experienced DUI & DWI Defense Attorneys
The team of criminal defense lawyers at Rollins law Group, has built a strong record of handling the defense of DUI & DWI charges on behalf of people arrested in Cecil County. Our firm has been providing legal services in and around Elkton, Maryland, for more than 60 years.
How We Handle the Defense of DUI & DWI Charges
In any DUI & DWI defense case, the first stage of a defense is to investigate the facts of the traffic stop and arrest. We review police reports, examine the scene of the arrest, and review the maintenance reports of the Intoxilyzer machine used to test blood alcohol content — all with the goal of discovering evidence we can use to disprove the charges against you and convince the state's attorney to dismiss the DUI & DWI charge against our client.
In those cases where our investigation makes it clear that the state has a solid case against our client, we then move into the "damage control" phase of the case. In those circumstances, it is our job to minimize the negative consequences that a DUI & DWI conviction can have on our client.
If there is a potential fine, we fight to lower it. If the likely sentence involves probation, we fight to make it unsupervised probation instead of supervised probation. If a jail sentence is likely, then we fight to minimize the length of the sentence and to exert control over where you will server your the sentence.
Throughout the entire case, our job as DUI & DWI defense lawyers is to be aggressive and discreet advocates for our clients who rely on us to protect their constitutional rights and their personal freedom whenever possible.
