DUI/DWI Lawyer Towson – Defending Impaired Driving Charges in Baltimore County
n Maryland, DUI and DWI charges fall under the Transportation Article and are treated as serious misdemeanors. DUI (Driving Under the Influence) typically applies when a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reaches 0.08% or higher, while DWI (Driving While Impaired) applies when alcohol or drugs impair driving ability, even at lower BAC levels. Additional charges may involve driving while impaired by a controlled dangerous substance.
Shepard Law offers aggressive, personalized defense strategies tailored to the specific facts of each case. We meticulously review police reports, field sobriety test results, breath or blood test procedures, and other evidence to identify potential weaknesses and pursue the best possible outcome in Baltimore County District or Circuit Court.
Common DUI/DWI-related charges we defend include:
- Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI / DUI Per Se)
- Driving While Impaired by Alcohol (DWI)
- Driving While Impaired by Drugs or a Controlled Dangerous Substance
- Related offenses involving refusal of chemical tests or enhancements for transporting a minor
Our firm works diligently to challenge the validity of the traffic stop, the administration of sobriety tests, the accuracy of chemical testing equipment and procedures, and other constitutional or procedural issues.
