Subsiquent Offense DUI
Defending Clients Facing Subsequent DUI Charges
The penalties for a first-time DUI are life changing: six-month license suspension, up to one year in jail, and up to $3,000 in fines. However, the penalties for a second, third, or subsequent DUI are enough to throw anyone’s life off track.
At William F. Riddle, Attorney at Law, I defend clients in Cecil County who have been charged with drunk driving. If this is a second or subsequent offense, it is more important than ever to work with attorney who understands the complex nature of Maryland DUI laws.
