UNDERSTANDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF A DUI
If you’re facing driving under the influence (DUI) charges, you’ll need to contact a criminal defense attorney in the Maryland and D.C. areas right away.
In addition to representing you in court, your defense lawyer can help you identify the potential consequences of a DUI conviction. You could be required to serve time behind bars. The length of your sentence will depend on whether you’ve previously been convicted for a DUI offense. Your DUI lawyer can also advise you as to the amount of fines you’ll likely be required to pay.
