The standard of proof in criminal law is the highest there is for a reason. Though the death penalty is no longer a possibility in the state of Maryland, it still exists in the federal courts. The concerns on the State level are typically fines, incarceration and restrictions and requirements imposed for the duration of probationary periods. However, the consequences of a criminal case can reach far beyond the sentence the judge imposes and affect areas such as job security, gun rights and immigration status.
When interacting with the criminal justice system, it is just as important to understand the rights you are giving up when pleading guilty as it is to understand the defenses available to you based on the circumstances of your case. Perhaps entering a plea of not guilty, and proceeding with a trial on the merits, is the best way forward. Each step of the way, there are important decisions to be made. Having a strategy at the outset can set you up for the best possible outcome.

There is only one citation in this category that does not carry the possibility of incarceration. It is referred to as driving while suspended subsection (h). This violation currently carries a maximum penalty of $500 and/or the possibility of 3 points on your record. Serious traffic stretches from here all the way to a DUI which can carry up to one year of incarceration as well as 12 points and $1,000 fine.
In relation to the effect your traffic case may have on your license to drive, it is important to be aware that you may have the option to request a hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings. This could mitigate the effects that the result of your case has on your driving privileges. Typically, you will have a limited period during which to request the hearing.
En estos casos, hacer las preguntas correctas y revisar la evidencia son pasos importantes para asegurar el mejor resultado.
The good news is, there is no chance of incarceration with minor traffic. The biggest concerns here are typically points affecting your driver’s license and high fines.
When people receive traffic citations, they often just pay them and move on. But when you pay a traffic ticket, you effectively plead guilty to the infraction. By doing so, you incur any points associated with the citation. Too many points in too short of a period may negatively affect your license up to suspension or revocation. Depending on the violation, you could be looking at 6 points for a single violation or a fine of $1,000 and if you are a CDL holder, a minor traffic charge can have a major detrimental effect on your privilege to retain the CDL.

But generally, workers’ compensation plans cover disability care costs, lost wages, medical expenses as well as death benefits. It can be worthwhile to speak with an attorney to determine whether you are eligible. This may be a crucial step to getting back on your feet after an unexpected injury.
Estos casos pueden ser doblemente confusos ya que involucran no sólo jerga legal sino también terminología médica. Pero todo se reduce a esto: a los profesionales médicos se les exige que proporcionen un nivel mínimo de atención. Cuando se desempeñan por debajo de este nivel, la ley los responsabiliza por cualquier daño que el proveedor haya causado al paciente. Como en muchas áreas del derecho, el tiempo es crucial ya que existen plazos, llamados estatutos de limitaciones, involucrados en este tipo de casos.
Just like it sounds, the law protects against any unreasonable use of force – that is, force that is greater than what a reasonable law enforcement officer believes is necessary. When excessive force is used, it is a constitutional violation. By nature, these cases tend to involve serious injury. Consulting with an attorney to determine whether a claim is appropriate can be an important first step to moving beyond the negative interaction.
