A DUI arrest doesn't have to define your future — but the State is already building its case. Put a former prosecutor on your side.
We know how the State builds DUI cases, because we've prosecuted them. From the moment you call, you get a former prosecutor who questions the traffic stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath test — and looks for where their case falls apart. Hartman Attorneys at Law defends people charged with DUI throughout Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.
Tell us what happened. A DUI attorney will get back to you quickly.
Attorney Christian Hartman is a former prosecutor who knows exactly how the State builds a DUI case — what they look for, how they argue it, and where it falls apart. NHTSA and ARIDE certified, he can question the field sobriety tests, breathalyzer procedures, and police conduct behind your charge.
No case managers. No call centers. Christian gives clients his personal cell number and answers when it matters most — direct access to the DUI lawyer handling your case, 24/7.
No guesswork, no generic advice. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options in plain language, and build an aggressive defense around what matters most to you.
Christian took care of my case and got me the best possible outcome. He communicated with me the entire time and made sure I understood what was happening throughout the case. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer!
I highly recommend Mr. Hartman. He was excellent in every aspect of my DUI case. Since it was my first one I didn't know what to expect dealing with the judicial system. He was able to explain the entire process to me before and during the court hearing.
Testimonials reflect the experiences of individual clients and are not a guarantee of any particular result. Prior results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Even a first DUI can carry serious, lasting consequences for your license, your finances, and your record. A DUI lawyer can review how the traffic stop and testing were handled and explain the options available in your situation. It's worth speaking with an attorney before you make any decisions about your case.
Write down everything you remember about the stop while it's still fresh, avoid discussing the details on social media, and speak with a DUI attorney as soon as possible. Some steps after an arrest are time-sensitive and can affect your driving privileges, so acting quickly matters.
As soon as you can. Certain deadlines after a DUI arrest are strict and time-sensitive, and getting a lawyer involved early gives us more room to protect your license and build a strong defense. We're available 24/7.
Every case is different and no outcome can be guaranteed. We examine the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, and breath-testing procedures for issues that may support challenging the evidence and pursuing the best possible result for you.
The cost depends on the specific charges and the complexity of your case. We'll talk through it clearly and up front during your free initial consultation, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
It's possible, depending on your case. If a court appearance is required, we'll prepare you for what to expect and stand with you at every stage. Many clients find real peace of mind having a former prosecutor in their corner.
