While some law firms substitute attorneys,
(imagine walking into court to see someone that you have never
met there to represent you!) when you hire
Scott Athen to represent you in court, you get Scott Athen!
Being
arrested for “Driving Under the Influence” (DUI) or “Driving While
Impaired” (DWI) does not have to be a devastating experience. Although a suspension or revocation of your driver's license or DUI/DWI
conviction can lead to unemployment, increased premiums or cancelled auto
insurance, jail and loss of reputation,
DUI/DWI cases
can be successfully
defended
by an experienced attorney!
 Do
you know what the cops look for
when they want to stop someone for DUI? What are the
Field Sobriety Tests? What is a
breath test, and how does it work?
Scott Athen
does, and he is an experienced and aggressive
DUI defense attorney. Concentrating on representing people accused of DUI/DWI
and other traffic charges for over a decade,
Scott Athen
is a Maryland DUI defense lawyer who has
been successful in obtaining acquittals, dismissals and reductions of
DUI/DWI charges
and having DMV suspensions
set aside or reduced. There is an alternative to pleading guilty.
While the success of each case depends on the individual facts and
circumstances, there may be some common issues that can lead to a
successful result, e.g. illegal stop or detention, "Miranda
Rights" violations, absorptive rate (how quickly your body absorbs
alcohol), implied consent violations and
reasonable doubt.
Of course, the best way to avoid conviction for driving while intoxicated is to
not drink and drive. Unfortunately, with Maryland’s DUI laws, even if you
had a small amount of alcohol and you are not impaired, your chances of being arrested if stopped are very high,
even if you have
only the faintest odor of alcohol. An
arrest for DUI/DWI does not automatically result in a conviction or loss
of your drivers license, but you have to know how to fight the system -
and
Scott Athen knows how to fight the system.
If you are arrested for DUI/DWI you probably need to save your drivers
license. Several guidelines must be followed if you want to save your
license. Scott
also created a list of
10
Things to Know and Do Within 10 days of your DWI Arrest.
You
NEED an AGGRESSIVE attorney to keep yourself out of jail, and to keep your
drivers license.
Scott Athen
is
that attorney. The
Law Offices of Scott C. Athen
has offices conveniently located in Millersville. Please
complete the
DUI
Arrest Evaluation,
e-mail
or call
443-324-5289
to schedule a free initial consultation. Scott will meet with you
in the evening, on the weekend, even at your home!
Lastly, everyone in Maryland should
print the Drivers Rights Card
and carry it at all times - it may be the difference between being
found guilty and not guilty.
