Your License and Freedom Deserve a Real Defense

DUI & DWI Defense Attorney in Annapolis for drivers facing criminal charges and license suspension after arrest

Gregory P. Robinson J.D., LLC provides DUI and DWI defense representation for drivers in Annapolis who have been arrested and now face criminal penalties, license suspension, and the risk of a conviction that follows them for years. You may be dealing with confusion over what happens next, worry about losing your ability to drive to work, and pressure to simply plead guilty and move on. This firm reviews every detail of your case, from the initial traffic stop to the administration of field sobriety tests and breathalyzer results, to identify procedural errors, rights violations, and weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence.


A DUI or DWI charge in Maryland triggers two separate processes: a criminal case in court and an administrative hearing with the Motor Vehicle Administration. Both can result in penalties that affect your driving privileges, employment, insurance rates, and criminal record. Gregory P. Robinson examines the legality of the stop, the calibration and maintenance records of breath testing devices, the training and conduct of the arresting officer, and whether your rights were properly observed during the arrest. Each of these areas can provide grounds for suppression of evidence or dismissal of charges.



If you were arrested for DUI or DWI in Annapolis, contact the firm to schedule a case review before your court date or MVA hearing deadline passes.

What a Thorough Defense Strategy Looks Like

Your attorney begins by requesting all documentation from the arrest, including dashcam or body camera footage, officer reports, calibration logs for breath testing equipment, and the timeline of events leading to your stop. Maryland law requires that officers have reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop and probable cause to make an arrest. If either standard was not met, the evidence gathered after the stop may be inadmissible. The firm also reviews whether you were properly advised of your rights, whether field sobriety tests were conducted according to standardized procedures, and whether environmental or medical conditions could have affected test results.


After the service is completed, you will know whether your case has viable defenses, what options exist for negotiating reduced charges, and what to expect during both the criminal proceeding and the MVA hearing. Gregory P. Robinson J.D., LLC represents you in both forums, arguing for the preservation of your driving privileges and working toward outcomes that avoid jail time, minimize fines, and protect your record. In some cases, charges can be reduced to a lesser offense or dismissed entirely based on procedural failures or insufficient evidence.



The firm does not guarantee specific outcomes, but it does commit to a complete examination of your case and aggressive representation at every stage.

You are not required to accept the first plea offer, and you are entitled to challenge the evidence. This process includes preparing for trial if a fair resolution cannot be reached through negotiation.

Questions Drivers Have After a DUI Arrest

These are some of the most common concerns raised by clients facing DUI or DWI charges in Annapolis and the surrounding area.

What happens if I refused the breathalyzer test?

Refusal triggers an automatic suspension under Maryland's implied consent law, but it also means the state has less direct evidence of impairment. Your attorney will evaluate whether the refusal can be challenged and what defenses remain available in your criminal case.

How soon do I need to request an MVA hearing?

You have ten days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing with the Motor Vehicle Administration. Missing this deadline results in an automatic suspension, so it is critical to act quickly after your arrest.

Why does the calibration of the breath test machine matter?

Breath testing devices must be regularly calibrated and maintained according to state standards. If records show lapses in maintenance or improper administration of the test, the results may be excluded from evidence.

What is the difference between DUI and DWI in Maryland?

DWI is the lesser charge, typically involving a blood alcohol concentration below 0.08 but above 0.07, or observable impairment. DUI applies when your BAC is 0.08 or higher, and it carries more severe penalties including longer license suspensions and higher fines.

Can I still drive while my case is pending?

It depends on whether your license was confiscated at the time of arrest and whether you requested an MVA hearing. In some cases, you may be eligible for a restricted license that allows you to drive to work or school while the case is ongoing.
