Among his many other awards, accomplishments, accolades and honors, defense attorney Charles Ware is recognized as "one of the 10 BEST DUI and DWI Attorneys in the State of Maryland," according to the national organization, American Institute of DUI and DWI Attorneys [AIDUIA].
Drunk driving laws in Maryland can be complex and complicated. This is just one more reason why it is important for anyone charged or arrested for DUI or DWI to contact an experienced DUI/DWI attorney as soon as possible.
After a DUI arrest, you have only 10 days from the date of the arrest to request a Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) hearing with the office of administrative hearings and pay $125 to the Maryland State Treasurer. If a person is arrested for drunk driving or DUI and fails to request the hearing on time, their license will be suspended automatically.
In Maryland the blood alcohol concentration level (BAC) for a DUI (driving under the influence)arrest is .08 or higher. A blood alcohol concentration level of .07 will result in a DWI (driving while impaired) arrest.
