Why Choose Fischer & Putzi for Davidsonville Clients

Davidsonville is a semi rural community — mostly farms and low density homes — with long stretches of rural roads and commuter routes. When you’re charged here, you deserve a law firm that:



  • Understands local traffic patterns, rural road conditions, and how enforcement tends to operate in exurban communities.


  • Offers a detailed, case by case review — from the initial traffic stop or sobriety/chemical test, through evidence and road context analysis.


  • Builds a defense strategy aimed at protecting your license, minimizing penalties, and preserving your driving privileges and future options.

Our Services in Edgewater, MD

We represent clients charged with:

  • DUI (Driving Under the Influence) — alcohol or substance‑related impairment resulting in criminal charges.
  • DWI (Driving While Impaired / Impairment from Drugs or Mixed Substances) — impaired driving charges even if BAC may be borderline or impairment arises from drugs/substances rather than alcohol.
  • Refusal to submit to breath or chemical tests — refusal can trigger serious administrative license‑suspension in addition to criminal consequences.
  • Repeat or multiple‑offense DUI / DWI cases — first-time offenses as well as repeat or prior‑record situations.
  • Traffic violations & moving‑offense charges — speeding, reckless driving, license‑suspension issues, ticket defense, and other non‑DUI traffic offenses.
  • Administrative hearings & license‑reinstatement support — representation before licensing authorities (e.g. MVA or court‑mandated hearings) to contest suspensions or assist with license‑recovery when possible.

What Drivers in Davidsonville Should Know


  • Davidsonville centers around the crossroads of two main roads — often rural or county roads — which means traffic stops might occur on less traveled or lower lighting roads, potentially impacting sobriety test or stop circumstances.
  • Even in rural/exurban communities, DUI or DWI charges are serious: convictions can lead to fines, license suspension or revocation, increased insurance rates, and long term record implications.
  • Refusing a required chemical or breath test often triggers separate administrative license suspension procedures — regardless of criminal outcomes — making legal representation important even at early stages.
  • Because the community balances rural lifestyle with commuting to urban or suburban job centers, many residents rely heavily on their vehicles — a DUI or license loss can have especially strong impact.

How Fischer & Putzi Builds a Defense for Davidsonville Residents

When you retain Fischer & Putzi, we will:

1. Review every detail of your case — police reports, sobriety or chemical-test results, video or witness evidence, and road / stop context.

2. Evaluate whether law enforcement properly handled the stop and testing — including probable-cause assessments, test administration, and compliance with legal procedures.

3. Challenge improper or flawed evidence — if protocols were violated or errors occurred, we fight to suppress or exclude problematic evidence.

4. Explore defense strategies — negotiating pleas, reducing charges, diversion or mitigation when appropriate, or seeking dismissal when facts support it.

5. Represent you in any license administrative hearings — to contest suspensions, appeal outcomes, or seek reinstatement where possible.

6. Advise on post arrest compliance and long term record protection — including interlock device compliance (if applicable), and steps to minimize insurance, employment, or housing impacts.

Common Questions from Davidsonville Clients

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

    A: DUI generally involves a BAC above the per se limit or clear intoxication. DWI can apply when impairment — due to drugs, alcohol, or a combination — affects safe driving even if BAC is lower or borderline, especially when sobriety test or behavioral evidence exists.

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

    A: Not always. Outcomes vary based on BAC or impairment level, prior record, and other circumstances. First time cases may result in fines, probation, or license suspension — though jail remains possible depending on facts.

  • Q: What happens if I refused a chemical or breath test?

    A: Refusing required chemical or breath testing often triggers automatic license suspension under Maryland’s implied consent laws — separate from any criminal charges. That’s why obtaining experienced legal counsel early is critical.

  • Q: Should I hire an attorney even if the charge seems minor (just a traffic stop)?

    A: Yes. Rural and exurban traffic stops can escalate quickly — especially under DUI/DWI laws. Early legal involvement can significantly improve your odds of minimizing penalties, protecting your license, and avoiding long-term consequences.
