Chris Hartman is an experienced and the most professional attorney I have ever worked with. He is very calm and confident. If you email or text him even over the weekend, he will respond within minutes. He gave me peace of mind on a case that was rather stressful. He will look for your best interest, and my case was dismissed. The price is reasonable for someone of his caliber.

Facing a DUI Charge in Annapolis? Let’s Talk.

A DUI arrest can feel like the end of the world, but it doesn’t have to define your future. Whether you refused a breath test, failed field sobriety testing, or were pulled over after a night out, you still have options. And we’re here to help you use them.

At Hartman Attorneys at Law, DUI defense isn’t guesswork. Attorney Hartman’s experience on the other side of the courtroom gives him insight into how prosecutors build these cases—and how to challenge them. We look closely at every detail: the traffic stop, testing procedures, officer conduct, and whether your rights were respected.

Many of our clients are first-time offenders. They’re parents, professionals, and everyday people who made a mistake or were unfairly accused. You might be worried about your job, your license, or even your custody arrangement. You can depend on us to protect everything that matters to you.
