The sections below provide basic information regarding DUI and DWI. They are not intended as legal advice or to substitute for representation by a qualified Maryland DUI attorney. Why Hire a Lawyer? (or "can't I do it myself?") Charges of DUI and DWI carry substantial penalties, both by way of a fine, potential jail time, and points on your driving record. Although there is no legal reason why you could not represent yourself, a lawyer can help you not only by recognizing technical legal defenses, by knowing what the judge is likely to do given the facts of your case, and what you can do to improve the odds of a favorable disposition. Willis & Henderson, P.A., will represent you vigorously in court on the criminal charges, as well as any Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) hearing. For example, our attorneys may challenge the validity of the stop, the methods used in the roadside sobriety test, or the accuracy and effectiveness of a breath test to get the charges dismissed or reduced, or to minimize the consequences of a conviction. Our attorneys will evaluate the case and determine whether there are any triable issues, and will determine the best course of action based upon the facts and circumstances of your case and the likely outcome of a trial.
