Our Services in Crownsville, MD

We represent clients in cases including:

  • DUI (Driving Under the Influence) — arrests based on high blood‑alcohol concentration or signs of impairment.
  • DWI (Driving While Impaired) — impairment due to lower BAC, drugs, or mixed substance use where driving ability is compromised.
  • Refusal to submit to chemical / breath tests — refusal can lead to serious administrative license actions in addition to criminal charges.
  • Repeat or multiple‑offense DUI / DWI — we defend both first‑time offenders and clients facing more serious or subsequent charges.
  • Traffic violations & moving violations — reckless driving, speeding, license‑suspension issues, ticket defense, and other non‑DUI traffic offenses.
  • Administrative hearings & license‑reinstatement support — representation before the licensing authority (MVA or similar) to fight suspensions or aid in license recovery when possible.

What Crownsville Drivers Should Know

Crownsville is a residential community in Anne Arundel County with convenient access to major roads and commuting routes — which means increased traffic and possible enforcement. Key context for drivers:

  • The area is near major corridors (like the route system connecting to Annapolis, Baltimore, and other parts of the region), which can result in heavier patrol presence and traffic enforcement.
  • First‑time DUI or DWI charges — or even traffic violations — may carry serious consequences: fines, license suspension/revocation, increased insurance rates, and permanent records.
  • Refusing chemical or breath tests often triggers license‑administrative action — separate from any criminal outcome — underscoring the importance of experienced representation.
  • Repeat offenses, elevated BAC levels, or aggravating circumstances (accidents, minors in vehicle, prior record) increase risk significantly — making prompt legal help even more critical.

Because even a single offense can affect driving privileges, record, insurance, and future opportunities — skilled legal representation in Crownsville matters.

Our Defense Approach for Crownsville Clients

When you hire Fischer & Putzi, we will:

  1. Perform a complete case review — analyzing police reports, sobriety and chemical‑test results, dash‑cam / body‑cam footage (if available), witness statements, and field‑test data.
  2. Scrutinize law‑enforcement procedure and legality of the stop — investigating whether the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, and chemical testing were conducted lawfully and properly, with constitutional rights respected.
  3. Challenge improper or flawed evidence — suppress or exclude evidence when testing or stop procedures were mishandled or violated protocols, to weaken the prosecution’s case.
  4. Negotiate for favorable outcomes — explore plea deals, diversion programs, reduced charges where possible, or dismissal when viable.
  5. Represent you in administrative license hearings — if license suspension or MVA‑related issues arise, we handle those proceedings to help preserve or restore your driving privileges.
  6. Provide post‑arrest guidance and long‑term defense strategy — including compliance with interlock‑device requirements (if applicable), license‑reinstatement planning, record‑protection strategies, and minimizing long‑term insurance or employment impact.

Common Questions from Crownsville Clients

  • What’s the difference between a DUI and a DWI in Maryland?

    A DUI usually refers to high blood‑alcohol concentration or clear intoxication, while a DWI can apply when impairment — due to lower BAC or drugs — affects your ability to drive safely, even if chemical test results are borderline.

  • If it’s my first offense — will I definitely go to jail?

    Not always. Outcomes depend on BAC level, prior record, circumstances (accidents, refusal, impairment evidence). Many first‑time cases result in fines, license suspension, or probation, though jail remains a possibility based on the facts

  • What happens if I refuse a chemical or breath test?

    Refusal typically leads to administrative license‑suspension, separate from any criminal case. Even if criminal charges are reduced or dismissed, the administrative consequences can still apply — which underscores the importance of experienced legal advice from the start.

  • Should I hire an attorney even if the charge seems “minor”?

    Yes. DUI, DWI, or even traffic‑related offenses can carry significant long‑term implications: license loss, high insurance premiums, criminal record, employment or housing issues. Early legal intervention can improve the chances of a favorable outcome.
