DUI/DWI Attorney Bruce Robinson has been successfully defending people charged with DUI and DWI cases in Maryland for over a decade. We understand that this is probably your first contact with the criminal justice system and it is a serious and frightening event. Most people are not familiar with Maryland's complex web of DUI/DWI laws, they do not know their legal rights when they find themselves handcuffed and sitting in the back of a police patrol vehicle. For example, you do not have to perform any field sobreity tests when requested to do so, and in fact, you should not do so. Also, you have the absolute right to speak with an attorney before giving any breath or blood test. The officer probably never told you that before asking you to give a breath sample. You may have been offered or given a preliminary breath test or PBT which is different from the formal breath test. Your officer was required to advise you of additional rigths if you performed this test. Knowing the Maryland DUI laws is important to you and critical to a successful defense. We know Maryland DUI law and we have a proven track record for success. Contact us and see what we can do to help you.
