What Happens After A Drunk Driving Arrest
If you got behind the wheel after having a few drinks, you could be facing serious consequences for driving under the influence (DUI). Although some people drive knowing they are drunk, many people do not realize how much they have had to drink until it is too late.
Whether you had a few cocktails at happy hour, several beers during a party or too much wine with dinner, and if you were arrested for a DUI, you need a lawyer who can give you the aggressive defense you need. I am Dale Watson, Attorney at Law, and I have more than 30 years of experience defending clients throughout Salisbury and the eastern shore of Maryland in criminal matters.

The Impact of a DUI
After being arrested for driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated (DWI), you may be worried about the consequences you are facing. Jail time is a serious threat for many people, but I work with clients to receive a probation before judgment on first offenses. If probation before judgment is granted, my client may honestly say they have never been convicted of a crime.
I work with clients to minimize the numerous effects of a DUI, including:
- License suspension
- Increased insurance rates
- Jail time
- Fines
I challenge elements of the prosecutor's case by disputing the legality the arrest, the reason for pulling you over and disparities with the blood alcohol level. In some instances, I have been able to have cases dismissed.
I work closely with my clients to protect their driving privileges. Schedule your free initial consultation with an experienced criminal defense attorney by contacting me online or by calling 410-546-4694.
