Legal Question in Traffic Law in Maryland

There may also be other defenses in your case. Police officer routinely charge the incorrect version of the Driving While Suspended (DWS) Statute. Many Assistant States Attorneys don't even know the nuances of the DWS laws.

The answer of whether you need a lawyer is a complicated one. In all fairness many cases can be pled by the accused themselves - - - especially traffic issues. With that being said, many state attorneys will not even talk to an accused. Of course, this is a misinterpretation of the their ethical obligations. I would be happy to discuss your case with you.
