Understanding the Specific Charges in Maryland

Facing criminal charges is a stressful experience. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed. At Law Offices of SRIS, P.C., we understand this. Maryland, like any state, has a detailed criminal code. The specific charges you’re facing will heavily influence the legal strategy. Let’s break down some common charges and the laws surrounding them. These include charges related to DUI, drug possession, assault, and theft. Each carries distinct penalties and legal processes. For instance, a DUI charge in Maryland involves operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The legal threshold for impairment is determined by blood alcohol content (BAC) levels. Drug possession charges depend on the type and quantity of the substance. Assault charges vary based on the severity of the harm caused. Theft charges depend on the value of the stolen property. Mr. Sris and our team will thoroughly investigate the facts of your case to determine the exact charges against you.
