Experienced criminal defense attorney

Defending a drunk driving charge successfully is a battle on two fronts. There are the criminal charges themselves, moving you through the criminal justice system, as well as the administrative aspect that determines whether your license will be suspended. After you have been charged with a DUI or driving while intoxicated (DWI), you have only 15 calendar days to schedule a license suspension hearing with the D.C. or Virginia Departments of Motor Vehicles; this period is only 10 days in Maryland. If you do not schedule this hearing with a hearing administrator in the allotted time, your license will be automatically suspended.

While it is not required you have an attorney present at the hearing, it is an adversarial proceeding, and it is always advantageous to have a skilled lawyer on your side to protect your rights. We fight for you to keep your drivers' license and to defend you against the criminal charges, including both instate and out-of-state felony DUI or DWI charges. We often have success getting the charges reduced by using all the techniques described above, especially if it is your first offense.
