Driving Under The Influence

Rockville DUI Defense Lawyers

At the Law Office of Patrick J. Crawford, we take drunk driving defense seriously. Drunk driving is a common but serious offense in Maryland. A DUI or DWI arrest may be the result of a small mistake, but it can have a devastating and long-lasting effect on your future. Your way of life and sense of freedom may depend on your ability to drive a car to work, for family appointments, or for personal recreation. If you are a commercial driver, you absolutely depend on your driver's license to earn your living.

If you or a family member has been charged with DUI, contact us now.

In addition to losing your license, a DUI conviction can cause you to incur large fines and increased insurance rates, be placed on probation, and even spend time in prison. Not only are DWI charges time-consuming and inconvenient, they can also be expensive. If you’ve been charged with drunk driving, or a related DWI charge, hire a Rockville DUI lawyer with experience you can rely on throughout the legal process. If your DUI incident involved a collision, vehicular homicide, or vehicular assault charges, as experienced criminal defense attorneys, we can help.

Rockville DUI lawyers who provides more than just DUI defense.

We are more than just DWI defense attorneys. We also handle all types of related legal issues, including traffic violations such as speeding, driving through a red light, reckless driving, and driving on suspended license. In addition, we can help you get your driver's license reinstated, either permanently, or with special provisions.

First offense charges · Multiple offense felony arrest · License reinstatement

In most cases after you have been charged with DUI in Maryland, your driver's license will be confiscated and you will be given a temporary driver's license, after which time your license will be automatically suspended. You have only a limited amount of time in Maryland to schedule an administrative hearing with the Motor Vehicle Administration to challenge the suspension or request a restricted license to drive to work or school. The MVA hearing procedure is not automatically a part of the DUI charge defense, however, it is a good idea to have the same attorney handle both issues for you.
