Dundalk DUI Lawyer
Facing a DUI in Dundalk? We protect your license and your record with a two‑track strategy for court and the MVA, guided by the facts and your goals.
What We Challenge
- The basis for the stop and any unlawful expansion
- Field sobriety testing under NHTSA
- Statements (Miranda, custody, voluntariness)
- Breath/blood testing compliance and documentation
Additional angles we evaluate
- Whether the officer properly explained rights and consequences before testing
- Location, lighting, footwear, and surface issues that undermine SFST validity
- Observation window, mouth alcohol concerns, and device maintenance logs
- Chain of custody, lab preservation, and result reporting for blood tests
Our Process
- License protection (interlock vs. MVA hearing)
- Evidence preservation and discovery (BWC, CAD, 911, lab)
- Targeted motions (stops, searches, statements, labs)
- Negotiation vs. trial with candid risk ranges
MVA Choices in Practice
Interlock provides immediate driving, while a hearing can preserve options or secure restrictions without interlock in certain cases. We weigh work commute, prior history, and BAC/refusal when recommending the path.
Mitigation That Helps in Baltimore County
Early alcohol assessment, treatment where indicated, verified employment/school, and credible letters of support. We recommend only what moves judges here.
FAQs
Can a first‑time DUI avoid jail?
Often, yes, with proper mitigation and viable legal issues.
Will a refusal help me?
It can change the evidence mix but has MVA consequences. We’ll model both scenarios.
How soon do I need to act?
Immediately. MVA deadlines are short, and BWC/video can be lost if not demanded quickly.
