DUI License Suspensions in Baltimore

How can I keep my license after a DUI arrest?

If you have been arrested for drinking and driving, you will not only face criminal prosecution for DUI or DWI, you will also be subjected to a driver's license suspension from the Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). You may be forced to spend up to a year living with the difficulties that arise when you cannot driver yourself to work, take your children to school and run every day errands. Many people in this situation incur significant expenses to arrange transportation and have to spend far more time commuting every week, as well as the embarrassment of living under DUI/DWI penalties. You need to do everything possible to keep you driving privileges, and your first action should be to consult with a seasoned Baltimore DWI lawyer about the situation.

You have 10 days to request a hearing with the MVA, and there is no guarantee that this will save your license. You could have your license suspended even without testing positive for an illegal blood alcohol content, because under Maryland's implied consent law you are required to submit to breath & blood tests when requested by an officer. Refusal can lead to license suspension. Your attorney will attempt to disprove the evidence against you or to have it deemed inadmissible in court, but if this is not possible you can still request the judge to grant you a restricted license so that you can travel to work or school.
