Baltimore County DUI, Criminal Law, Drunk Driving, Attorney

If you are charged with a DUI, please call our office at 866-435-2795 immediately
as there are certain critical time limits for your case.

Each judge in Maryland has their own practice regarding sentencing. In Baltimore County DUI cases that are heard in either Catonsville, Essex, or Towson, judges have a high expectation regarding treatment before trial. Some judges who did not jail a first offender in a Baltimore County DWI case will now jail a defendant in a Baltimore County DUI case. This occurs when they find the treatment inappropriate for the conduct involved in the offense. After the change from DWI (.10) to DUI (.08), when the legal limit was reduced, judges became even much more stringent about the level of treatment. Anyone who thought that Baltimore County DUI cases would be handled easier than Baltimore County DWI cases because the defendant was no longer intoxicated, but "is only" under the influence, was mistaken. It is sometimes confusing for defendants to understand the charges because they think in terms of DWI and DUI and don't understand how they are treated the same if DWI no longer exists in Maryland. With the January 2007 advent of the interlock requirement for a .15 or higher Intoximeter or blood test, the .15 test is viewed as being DWI even though the charge is called a DUI. REMEMBER it is the perception of the sentencing judge that is always paramount. High chemical test results and/or accidents in Baltimore County DUI cases as well as other jurisdictions in the case require pro-active efforts on the part of counsel and the defendant. On more than one occasion I've had to explain to a judge that the client's previous lawyer mishandled the prior DWI or DUI because no effort was made to educate the client or the court on the appropriate level of treatment. You do not want to fall into that situation so it is necessary that whomever you chose as a lawyer is as concerned about your future as you should be.
