Towson DUI Lawyer
Towson DUI cases move through the Towson District Court or Baltimore County Circuit Court, while the MVA determines license consequences on a parallel track. We build a practical plan for both, centered on the evidence and your goals.
Court + MVA Strategy
Your MVA choices—interlock or hearing—depend on your test result/refusal, prior history, and work/family needs. We help you decide fast, then we move to preserve body‑cam, CAD, 911, and other time‑sensitive records.
Evidence We Examine
- Stop basis and any unlawful expansion
- Field sobriety testing under NHTSA (instructions/admin/scoring)
- Custody/Miranda and voluntariness of statements
- Breath testing (observation, operator, maintenance) and blood testing (chain of custody)
- Video or third‑party footage that contradicts reports
Defenses that Matter in Towson
- Unlawful stop or extension
- Improper SFST administration/scoring
- Lack of probable cause for arrest
- Inadmissible statements
- Defective breath/blood procedures
Collateral Concerns
CDL, professional licenses, security clearances, and employer policies can magnify risk. We account for these from day one.
Our Process
- License protection and evidence preservation
- Discovery and investigation
- Targeted motions on stops, searches, statements, and labs
- Negotiation vs. trial with candid ranges
First Offense vs. Repeat DUI in Towson
First‑time offenders can often avoid incarceration by combining targeted motions with documented mitigation and proactive steps like assessments and interlock. Subsequent DUIs increase exposure—especially with prior convictions, high BACs, or accidents. We tailor a plan that minimizes criminal penalties and license loss in either scenario.
