DUI & Traffic Offenses

Silver Spring, Maryland, Traffic Lawyers

Traffic offenses can seem like a minor inconvenience until you find that your driver's license is suspended or your insurance has skyrocketed … or you are going to jail.

The truth is that DUI charges and traffic offenses are among the most common criminal charges a person will face. The results can be more than an inconvenience. A bad outcome to a drunk driving charge or serious traffic violation can affect your job, your wallet, and every other aspect of your life.

Don't wait to get a lawyer involved in your case if you were charged with a DUI, a DWI or a traffic offense. The defense attorneys at the law office of Steven M. Cooper, Chartered, can help. Contact our Silver Spring office now for a free consultation.

We are extremely experienced in protecting people's rights and driving privileges in traffic and drunk driving cases. We have been defending Maryland and Washington, D.C., clients for decades. We know the area courts, prosecutors, judges and juries. We understand how local cases are handled. We can defend you against these and other traffic offenses:

DUI-Related Charges

  • Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs
  • Driving while impaired (DWI) of alcohol or drugs
  • DWI with a minor in the vehicle
  • Underage DUI (Maryland has a zero-tolerance law for minors, so any level of blood alcohol can result in a criminal charge)

Other Traffic Offenses

Protect Your License and Your Future

If you are convicted of a serious traffic violation, such as speeding, DUI or reckless driving, you face potentially severe consequences, such as the loss of your driver's license, fines or jail time.

We understand that your future is on the line. We will do everything we can to help you fight the charges or to minimize the consequences of a conviction. There are options; probation, community service or substance abuse treatment could be alternatives to jail time and hefty fines. Our goal is to get you the best possible outcome to your traffic case.
