When a police officer stops a driver and has reason to believe the driver has been drinking, the police officer can request an alcohol test (breath test or blood test). If you refuse an alcohol test, or if your test reveals a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more, your driver's license will be confiscated and you will be arrested and charged with drunk driving (DUI/DWI).
If you have been accused of drunk driving, you need an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer to fight for you in order to save your license.
"I was convicted of drunk driving before. When I was arrested for drunk driving a third time, I knew I was in big trouble. I was afraid of losing my driver's license and going to jail. I called Mr. Smith because a friend of mine had used him and was very happy with the results. Mr. Smith defended me aggressively and took the case to trial. I was relieved and grateful when I was found not guilty of all charges. Mr. Smith also represented me at the MVA hearing. The judge took no action and I was able to get my driver's license back." - K.S. - Sykesville, MD
