How Do I Choose a Maryland DWI Attorney?If you were charged with a DWI (known elsewhere as DUI), chances are you have seen an avalanche of postcards and letters coming to your home from DWI defense lawyers. How do you choose? Here are a few criteria you can look for when deciding which DWI lawyer to bring on your case: Length of Experience: How many years has this lawyer been handling DWI? How much experience do they have in the local courts in Harford County? Range of Experience: Do they handle both the driver's license hearing and the criminal case? Will they handle appeals? (Few attorneys will go that far, but if your driver's license is your livelihood, you may need that.) Personal Attention: Do they work for a mill, churning out DWI defense without really getting to know the client or their case? Do they investigate the case themselves? Will you work with the attorney whom you have met? Or could your day in court be the first time you have met your lawyer? At the Law Offices of Christopher M. Marts, we provide quality, personalized service for simple and complex drunk-driving cases. Contact our office by e-mail or at (410) 879-7500. |
