DWI Consequences in Maryland
FREE DWI Evaluation: (410) 205-1684
If you or someone you care about has been arrested for DWI and are facing serious consequences, you should have a Salisbury DWI lawyer on your side. Even a first-time offense should be taken seriously. Many judges will give jail time to DWI offenders, regardless of the level of BAC at the time of the arrest or any prior criminal history. However, other judges choose to give first-time offenders a chance for rehabilitation.
In order to adequately protect your driving privileges and record, turn to me, Attorney William R. Hall, for strong, aggressive legal defense. I have more than 15 years of experience practicing law in our local courts. I know how the local courts work and how drunk driving cases are handled by law enforcement. I am ready to use this knowledge and experience to my clients' advantage.

Penalties for DWI
A blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher or a positive drug test can lead to a conviction of DWI. The penalties for DWI can also vary depending on the circumstances involved, and the ability of your attorney. When you get a Salisbury DWI attorney involved early on, you may be able to minimize the penalties and consequences.
If you are found guilty of a first-time DUI in Maryland, you could face these consequences:
- 12 points on your license
- A one-year license suspension
- Up to a $1,000 fine
- Jail time
- Ignition interlock device
If you have a prior conviction, you can face more severe penalties, including longer jail time, longer license suspension, and may be required to pay more for high-risk auto insurance coverage. Those facing subsequent offenses may also not qualify for probation. You could also face other repercussions, such as losing your job.

“Highly Recommended”I contacted William Hall to see if he could do a modification on all 5 of my sentences. He returned my letter and set up a meeting with me and said he would take the case. Mr. Hall took my case when all other lawyers told me I had no chance of get my sentence modified. After hiring him he had me a court date within 6 months which is unheard of, he had my 5 sentences modified and out of a very tough place in 6 months. I will always be grateful to him for all his hard work and staying in contact with me and my family through out the whole process!! He was honest with everything he could do and would do. I recommend him to everyone I know that needs any legal advice!! William Hall is by far the best lawyer I have ever hired!!!- P.H.
