The Best DUI Lawyers in Maryland

If you have been arrested for DUI or DWI in the state of Maryland, it is very important that you contact a DUI attorney as soon as possible. After a DUI arrest, you have only 10 days from the date of the arrest to request a Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) hearing with the office of administrative hearings and pay $125 to the Maryland State Treasurer. If a person is arrested for drunk driving or DUI and fails to request the hearing on time, their license will be suspended automatically.

In Maryland the blood alcohol concentration level (BAC) for a DUI (driving under the influence)arrest is .08 or higher. A blood alcohol concentration level of .07 will result in a DWI (driving while impaired) arrest.

• Minimum drivers license suspension of 45 days.

If you hold an out of state license and are arrested for DUI or DWI, you will need to schedule a Maryland MVA hearing in order to protect your driving privileges. Maryland is a member of the Interstate Driver's License Compact, which shares information about all driver's license actions with other member states. There are 45 states that belong to this compact.
