Safeguarding Your Freedom With Aggressive and Compassionate Legal Representation

Charm City Defense Attorney For Military DUI/DWI

A DUI arrest in Maryland can derail a military career, putting promotions, assignments and even continued service in jeopardy. You need a skilled defender to help you avoid serious consequences that extend beyond court.

For more than 10 years, Charm City Defense has defended active-duty personnel and veterans in Baltimore, Timonium and surrounding areas. Attorney Bradley S. Shepherd understands the stakes and works to achieve favorable outcomes in civilian and military proceedings. He brings strategic insight and unwavering commitment to every case.

Military DUI Poses Distinct Challenges

A military DUI often triggers unique consequences. In addition to fines, license suspension and possible jail time, service members may face disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). This can include nonjudicial punishment, loss of rank or even separation from service. A conviction may also jeopardize a security clearance, which can affect current duties and future career opportunities.

A military DUI lawyer can help address both the civilian charges and the military implications with precision and discretion.

Immediate Steps After A Military DUI Arrest

After a DUI arrest, service members should take the following steps to protect their rights and future:

  • Avoid discussing the incident with commanding officers until legal counsel is secured
  • Request a copy of the police report and any breath or blood test results
  • Attend all scheduled court dates and administrative hearings
  • Contact a military DWI attorney as soon as possible

Prompt action can make a significant difference. The service member DUI attorney at Charm City Defense will evaluate the evidence, identify procedural errors, and develop a defense tailored to your military status and legal goals. Attorney Shepherd also understands how to navigate the complexities of DUI court-martial defense when applicable.
