About Gary Bernstein
I am a former Assistant State’s Attorney for Baltimore City and have been in the private practice of criminal and drunk driving law over 20 years. My tag says “No Plea” because I am known for trying cases. Many lawyers look to get in and out of court as quickly as possible. My objective is to secure the best possible outcome for my clients. I’m no pallbearer. I handle all state and federal criminal and traffic matters, including appeals to the Court of Special Appeals and the Court of Appeals. I am member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD). I can assist with criminal and DUI matters throughout Maryland including Anne Arundel County (Annapolis and Glen Burnie), Baltimore County (Catonsville, Towson, and Essex), Carroll County, Cecil County, Harford County, Howard County, and Baltimore City.
If I was found not guilty (dui, dwi) can I request the MVA to remove me from the interlock program and receive an unrestricted license? If so, how?
No. You are on the program because of either the breath test result or a refusal.
I hired Gary Bernstein on the advise of a very prominent Montgomery County attorney for three very serious cases I picked up in Baltimore County . Two of the three cases were alleged hit and runs / driving on revoked, resulting in minor injuries to the victims and several jailable charges. The third case was an alleged possession of a controlled substance. All three cases resulted in flat out dismissals. Not plea deal with lenthy probation sentences, but flat out dismissals. My wife has a theory that he has incredible knowledge about the law and the baltimore area legal system in general and he does, I however beleive in my heart that unless the prosecution has their case really together they do not want to try a case in front of Mr. Gary Bernstein. He is that good. He has a swagger of confidence in court and in his office that may put you off a little but beleive me, he owns it. If you need someone to hold cards and punches and convince you everything will be ok by holding your hand , I would not hire Mr. Bernstein. You can find that with some young former public defender that will fight to plea your case out with a little jail time and probation. Who knows maybe alot of jail time. If you want a bulldog that gets results and tells you they way it is , then Gary Bernstein is the attorney you want standing next to you at that defense table when you are at your most vulnerable time in your life. I know I will always have him standing next to me if I ever need his expertise again. He is then only attorney for me PERIOD! Thank you Gary.
