Baltimore DWI Attorney

Driving While Intoxicated in Baltimore

Many states make no distinction between driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while impaired (DWI), and they simply choose one term to describe drunk driving. Maryland is one of the few that makes use of both terms. If you took a blood or breath test that indicated that your blood alcohol content (BAC) was less than .08% but greater than .01%, you will be charged with DWI. A BAC above .08% results in a DUI charge.

State law takes any form of drunk driving seriously, and law enforcement officers and prosecutors will move swiftly to deliver the maximum punishment available. Driving while impaired, a misdemeanor, is often referred to as a less serious criminal offense than DUI, but the penalties for DWI are severe enough to have a major impact on your life. If you are convicted, you may be sent to jail for up to 60 days, in addition to being fined as much as $500. The sentence will be greater in the case of a second offense, with up to a year in jail. In addition to criminal penalties, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration will suspend your driving privileges for 60 days and you may be required to install an ignition interlock device. An aggressive Baltimore DWI attorney can help you challenge the case and attempt to avoid these penalties.
