Some of the more common criminal charges Hyatt & Goldbloom represent include:

DUI/DWI Charges

In Maryland, a DUI, or Driving Under the Influence, charge means you are accused of operating a vehicle while significantly impaired by alcohol or other mind-altering substance. While a DWI, or Driving While Impaired, charge means you’re accused of having lost some level of coordination due to alcohol or other drugs. As a result, DUI convictions carry longer sentences and higher fines than DWI convictions.

Drug Crimes

No matter the circumstances, the Baltimore drug crime lawyers at Hyatt & Goldbloom will aggressively challenge the prosecutor’s case and demand that they prove every element of the alleged crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Drug crimes are one of the most common types of criminal charges in Baltimore. Penalties for these crimes, if convicted, can be life-altering. Further, we’ve witnessed countless examples of prosecutors failing to have sufficient evidence to support a drug charge, or alternatively, attempting to use evidence that was improperly obtained. Protect yourself by hiring a Hyatt & Goldbloom drug crime lawyer.
