DUI / DWI Defense

Maryland DUI and DWI Defense

A DUI or DWI charge can create immediate concerns about court, driving privileges, work, and reputation. Kim & Grillo represents Maryland clients facing impaired-driving allegations and related traffic matters.

Case Review

A charge should be reviewed from the beginning.

Impaired-driving cases can involve the circumstances of the traffic stop, observations made by law enforcement, field testing, chemical testing, video, witness accounts, and the sequence of events leading to the charge.

The appropriate defense depends on the facts. Early review can help identify what evidence exists, what deadlines or court dates are approaching, and what issues should be investigated before important decisions are made.
