What Are The Consequences of a Conviction?
Many first-time offenders think that by pleading guilty, the judge will “go easy” on them, but this is rarely the case. There is a stigma surrounding DUI, and as a result prosecutors, judges, and juries all tend to be particularly harsh on these types of offenders.
DUI and DWI are actually two separate crimes in Maryland, and carry different penalties. DUI is the more serious of the two, requiring a BAC of .08% or greater. DWI is a lesser, yet still serious charge, and is applicable if your BAC falls between .04% and .08%.
The penalties for a first-time DUI conviction can include:
- License suspension of up 120 days
- Up to one year behind bars
- 12 points on your license
These are just some of the consequences you’ll face if convicted. Secure the tough defense you need by calling our firm today at (410) 630-4274.
