The Court Behind a Germantown DUI
Germantown DUI charges are heard in the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County, which sits in District 6. It is easy to focus only on the charge, but the judge assigned to your case quietly drives the outcome. That judge decides bail and pretrial release, rules on the motions we file to test the legality of the stop and the accuracy of the field and chemical testing, and at sentencing weighs whether probation before judgment (PBJ) is the right result so a conviction stays off your record.
These are the judges currently on the District 6 bench:
- Amy J. Bills
- Karen Anne Ferretti
- Rand Lewis Gelber
- Michael O. Glynn
- Patrick J. Mays
- John C. Moffett
- Eric John Nee
- Aileen Elizabeth Oliver
- Marina Lolley Sabett
- Sherri Debra Koch (Administrative Judge)
We factor in the assigned judge's tendencies when we map out how to handle your Germantown case.
