Facing a DUI Charge in Maryland? Here’s What You Need to Know

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is one of the most common criminal charges in Maryland, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. A DUI conviction can impact your driver’s license, your employment, your insurance rates, and even your freedom. If you’ve been charged, it’s important to act quickly and understand your rights.

At Law office of Stanley Thompson, we focus on protecting clients facing DUI charges in Greenbelt, MD, and throughout the surrounding areas.

Understanding DUI in Maryland

In Maryland, a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) occurs when a driver operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. Even if your BAC is below this limit, you may still face charges for Driving While Impaired (DWI) if alcohol or drugs affect your ability to drive safely.

Penalties for a DUI conviction may include:

• Fines and court costs

• License suspension or revocation

• Mandatory alcohol education programs

• Installation of an ignition interlock device

• Jail time for repeat or aggravated offenses

Why You Need a DUI Defense Lawyer

Trying to handle a DUI case on your own can be risky. A skilled defense attorney can:

• Challenge the legality of the traffic stop

• Review whether the breathalyzer or field sobriety tests were properly administered

• Negotiate for reduced charges or alternative sentencing

• Defend you aggressively in court if your case goes to trial
