Maryland Criminal Defense Attorney for Traffic-Related Offenses
A traffic-related criminal charge in Maryland can upend your life fast. Your license, your record, your livelihood — all of it hangs in the balance.
At The Law Office of Hillel Traub, P.A., Attorney Hillel Traub delivers aggressive, knowledgeable criminal defense for Marylanders facing DUI/DWI charges, car accident-related offenses, reckless driving, hit-and-run, and more.
When a Traffic Stop Becomes a Criminal Matter
Not every traffic incident ends with a fine. A DUI arrest, a hit-and-run charge, or a collision involving serious injury can cross into criminal territory — carrying jail time, license suspension, steep fines, and a permanent record. These consequences follow you into job applications, professional licensing reviews, and child custody matters.
The "Insider" Advantage
Attorney Hillel Traub understands both sides of the legal system. As a former Maryland Assistant Attorney General representing the MVA for nearly a decade, he knows exactly how prosecutors build these cases — and where the cracks are. That insider perspective sets our firm apart.
Criminal Defense for Maryland Traffic Offenses
DUI/DWI Defense
Maryland DUI law draws a line between DUI (BAC of 0.08%+) and DWI (BAC of 0.04–0.07%). Both carry serious consequences. A first DUI offense can mean up to one year in jail, up to $1,000 in fines, and license suspension.
How we defend your case:
- Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
- Scrutinizing breathalyzer calibration and operator certification
- Contesting field sobriety test administration
- Requesting MVA hearings within the critical 10-day window
- Pursuing dismissals, PBJ, or diversion programs
Car Accident Criminal Charges
Being involved in an accident doesn't automatically mean you're at fault, but specific actions can lead to criminal prosecution. We defend charges including:
- Leaving the scene / Hit-and-Run
- Failure to control speed to avoid a collision
- Negligent or reckless driving causing injury
- Vehicular manslaughter
Additional Criminal Traffic Offenses
- Reckless & Aggressive Driving: Including excessive speeding (e.g., 100+ mph).

How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
DUI applies when your BAC is 0.08% or higher. DWI applies when BAC is between 0.04% and 0.07%, with additional evidence of impairment. DUI carries heavier penalties.
Maryland's implied consent law triggers an automatic 120-day license suspension for a first refusal. However, these cases can be easier to defend as direct BAC evidence is missing.
You have exactly 10 days from the date of arrest. Missing this deadline results in automatic license suspension.
