First-Time DUIs in Maryland
After being charged with a DUI, the first question many people have is how this will affect their life and, often, whether it will “ruin it.” DUIs are very serious, but a charge is not the same as a conviction. This is America, you have the right to a fair trial. The sooner you get started on building your defense, particularly if you utilize the skill of a professional trial lawyer, the better chances you have of overcoming a DUI charge without or with minimal penalty.
Penalties for First Offense DUIs
Per Maryland law, you may face the following penalties if convicted of a first offense DUI:
- A fine of up to $1,000
- A jail sentence of up to one year
- Twelve points assessed on your driving record
- Revocation of your driver’s license for up to six months
Our defense team at Alpert Schreyer, LLC knows how much these penalties can disrupt your life, and we also know many first-time DUI offenders simply got caught making a simple, one-time mistake. That’s why we are committed to fighting for you.

Mount a Strong Defense
In a free and confidential consultation, we will discuss your case’s strengths and weaknesses. Should you move forward with our firm, we will use our in-depth knowledge of the nuances of DUI law, law enforcement training, and field sobriety tests to thoroughly investigate your case and mount a strong defense on your behalf.
Even if fighting charges is determined to be fruitless, we can work to reduce your penalties. If no one was injured, a plea deal or alternative sentencing can help first-time DUI offenders avoid jail time. (It may even be possible to maintain a clean driving record via these options.) Instead of a jail sentence, you may be given the opportunity to enroll in an alcohol education program (AEP) or community service.
We know that facing a DUI for the first time can be nerve-racking and feel like the end of the world, but a DUI does not have to ruin your life. Our defense lawyers are equipped to take on your case. We will exhaust our wealth of resources in our fight to have your charges reduced or dismissed altogether; a complex case has never deterred us. Protecting your future is our top priority.
Client Reviews
The attorney’s and paralegals are incredible. They are truly committed to understanding your case and serving you. However, I’ve personally worked with Mr. Berman and Mrs. Bowman through my entire process! I am so grateful for their passion, dedication, and professionalism. I haven’t worked with many attorney’s in the past, but I’m glad you all were recommended to me. You all are truly the best. Thank you so much!
