Did you know you have a right to call an attorney from the roadside prior to submitting to a breathalyzer test? Many people hurt their case and their chances by seeking advice from their friends. You should only seek legal advice from an experienced DUI Lawyer who will aggressively fight your DUI charges and will seek to have your sentence reduced or your charges dismissed. As an experience DUI and DWI Attorney, Richard Miller has challenged the prosecution's evidence in countless cases resulting in a reduction of sentencing penalties and even full dismissal. The Difference Between DUI and DWI Driving Under the Influence (DUI)is driving with a blood alcohol concentration over .08Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)is driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .04 or more, but less than .08 If you are legally intoxicated you face both a criminal charge, as well as (MVA) civil license suspension proceedings. The MVA can impose the following penalties: 45-day license suspension for the first offense90-day suspension for a subsequent offenseTotal loss of driving privileges (license revoked)MVA can issue a restricted license for the suspension period if you participate in the Ignition Interlock System Program (IISP)12 points with the MVA You are facing the following CRIMINAL penalties from your DUI or DWI Arrest: First Offense DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol per se) blood alcohol content of .08 or more Up to 1 year in jail and up to $1,000 fine and an imposition of 12 points First Offense DWI (driving while intoxicated) Up to 60 days in jail and up to $500 fine and an imposition of 6 points Second Offense DUI (driving under the influence) Up to 2 years in jail and up to $2,000 fines Second Offense DWI (driving while intoxicated) Up to 1 year in jail and up to $500 in fines. DWI also carries 8 points with the MVA and at a hearing the driver's license may be suspended. Third Offense DUI (driving under the influence) Up to 3 year in jail and up to $3,000 fine If arrested for DUI while transporting a minor Additional up to 1 year in jail and up to $1,000 in fine First Offense Underage DUI – Maryland has a zero-tolerance law for minors caught driving under the influence Penalties include a 45-day license suspension and $500 fine First Offense DUI with a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) License suspension for up to 1 year; losing your CDL can affect your ability to make a living, so it is vitally important to aggressively fight against these charges. Refusal to Submit to a Breathalyzer Test Refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test can result in an automatic 90-day or 120-day suspension of your license, and can be admitted in court as evidence of your guilt.BUT, you have the right to consult counselbefore making a decision about taking the breathalyzer test. The police officer must allow you to call your attorney from your cell phone unless it would cause an unreasonable delay. ALSO, you actually have the right to change your mind after initially telling the police officer "yes" or "no" about taking the test; again, as long as it does not unreasonably delay the administering of the test. Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) You may be eligible to be placed on probation. If so, with a PBJ you will get no points on your driving record, but you may still be fined and be required to submit to conditions of probation. Many DUI attorneys will take the easy way out and tell you to take a PBJ, but Mr. Miller will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine whether your are better off accepting a PBJ or trying your case which may result in a "Not Guilty." Serving clients throughout Maryland including:Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Carroll County, Cecil County, Frederick County, Harford County, Howard County, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and surrounding areas.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What should I tell the police office if I'm stopped for suspicion of drunk driving? A.Most people don't realize they do not have to admit to anything. The police office will probably ask you if you've been drinking, how much you've had to drink, where you were going, etc. Always be courteous and cooperative, but you are not required (nor should you) answer any of these questions. Politely inform the officer that you decline to answer any questions until you've consulted your attorney. Q. Do I have to submit to the Field Sobriety Test? A.You are not required to take the field sobriety test and there is no penalty if you decline. If you do decline you can still be arrested, but later on this may aid in your defense, as the prosecutor will not have the results of the test to use against you. Q. Do I have to submit to the Breathalyzer Test? A.Refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test can result in an automatic 90-day or 120-day suspension of your license, and can be admitted in court as evidence of your guilt.BUT, you have the right to consult counselbefore making a decision about taking the breathalyzer test. The police officer must allow you to call your attorney from your cell phone unless it would cause an unreasonable delay. ALSO, you actually have the right to change your mind after initially telling the police officer "yes" or "no" about taking the test; again, as long as it does not unreasonably delay the administering of the test. If you do refuse the Breathalyzer test, you may have to install an interlock device in your car for one year in order to be able to retain your license. Q. I smoked a little pot, but I didn't drink. Why am I being charged with DUI? A.DUI is defined as "Driving Under the Influence" of alcohol OR drugs. You could be arrested for DUI if you are suspected of being high, or stoned, and believed to be chemically impaired while operating a motor vehicle. Q. I didn't give the officer permission to search my vehicle, but they did. Were my rights violated? A.If the police officer can prove substantial reason to suspect that your vehicle contained an illegal substance or evidence of a crime, then he/she is considered to have probable cause to search your automobile. Q. Can I get off if the officer didn't read me my Miranda Rights? A.Not likely. When you are first stopped you have not yet been arrested. Also, Maryland is an Implied Consent state and not having been read your rights does not normally affect a DUI/DWI case. Although if after you are arrested you are not read your rights, your response to questions may be able to be suppressed in court. Q. Why was my Driver's License taken away before I was proven guilty? A.Again, because Maryland is an Implied Consent state and driving is considered a privilege and not a right, your license is taken away because the police officer has determined you are a threat to the public. A temporary license is issued (valid for 45 days). It is your responsibility to request a hearing with the Maryland MVA and you have only 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing or your license will be automatically suspended. Your attorney will represent you at the MVA hearing and will attempt to persuade the judge to reinstate your license while you await your trial. Q. Should I pay my tickets and fines before I go to court? A.Do not pay your tickets and fines before you go to court. Paying your ticket is the same as admitting your guilt, whereas with the proper representation from a qualified DUI attorney representing you in court, you may not be found guilty, your fines may be greatly reduced, or the ticket may be dropped. Q. How is the MVA suspension for my DUI arrest different from the suspension following my conviction in criminal court? A.The MVA suspension is an administrative action taken against your driving privilege only. The suspension or revocation following a conviction in court is a mandatory action for which jail, fine, or other criminal penalty can be imposed. Q. Will I be charged to speak to a lawyer about my DUI case? A.Your initial consultation with Richard Miller is FREE. He is available 24/7 by cell 410-746-2271 and is happy to meet with you to discuss your concerns and evaluate your case.

You've been arrested for DUI, but it doesn't mean that a conviction is automatic. Do not allow the arresting officer, the prosecutor, or anyone else, pressure you into pleading guilty. Often skilled police officers cajole a suspect into an admission or incriminating statement that may ultimately be the evidence that will get you convicted. The U.S. Constitution guarantees you cannot be forced to be a witness against yourself if the police suspect you of a crime or have arrested you for a crime. For this reason knowing your rights is critical. DO NOT believe or assume that the police will tell you your rights or how to assert them. You must know what to do, what to say, and how to act if confronted by police. You have the right to seek advice from counsel from the roadside prior to submitting to theBrealthalyzerandfield sobriety tests. If asked if you were drinking, how much you drank, or even where you were heading, you havethe right to politely declineto answer these questions until seeking advice from counsel. See DUI FAQ… A conviction of guilty will remain on your record. Talk to an experienced attorney before falling into the trap of having your rights violated. Richard Millerhas successfully defended some of the most serious DUI and DWI criminal cases in Baltimore, Maryland, and will ensure your constitutional rights are protected. Mr. Miller is an expert in MarylandDUIlaws and will build a solid DUI defense and review all aspects of your case to determine if your rights were violated in any way or if procedures were not followed properly. Know that you have rights throughout the entire process. Did the arresting officer have probable cause to pull you over? Did the officer administer the field sobriety and Breathalyzer tests properly? Was the Breathalyzer properly calibrated and maintained? If there was a blood test, was it done within your rights and did it follow the proper chain of custody?
