Christian Hartman prosecuted cases before he defended them. That means he knows exactly how the State builds a DUI case — and exactly where it comes apart.
The State's case
Our defense
We know what they'll argue, how they'll try to prove it, and where their case might fall apart. That insight shapes every move we make.
Our Annapolis office is minutes from the Anne Arundel County courthouse, and we appear in the Anne Arundel and Prince George's County courts where local DUI cases are heard, as well as before the Maryland MVA.
NHTSA and ARIDE certified, Christian questions the field sobriety tests, breathalyzer procedures, and police conduct behind your charge — with the same training the State relies on.
No case managers. No call centers. Christian gives clients his personal cell number and answers when it matters most — direct access, day or night.
Not sure which of these matches your paperwork? Bring it in and we will explain exactly what has been charged.
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.

Look for someone who handles DUI cases regularly rather than occasionally, who can explain how they would approach the specific evidence in your case, and who will speak with you directly rather than routing you through staff. Ask about their background with impaired-driving evidence, ask who will actually appear in court with you, and ask for clear answers on cost before you hire anyone.
Yes. Maryland charges impaired driving under more than one name, and the specific charge on your paperwork affects what you are facing. Bring your citation and charging documents to your consultation and we will explain exactly what has been charged and what it means for you.
OWI is the term used in some other states. In Maryland, impaired-driving charges are brought as DUI or DWI. If you were charged here, we can help; if your charge is from another state, call anyway and we will point you in the right direction.
As soon as you can. Certain steps after a DUI arrest are time-sensitive and can affect your driving privileges, so getting an attorney involved early gives us more room to protect your license and build a defense. Our phones are answered 24/7.
The cost depends on the specific charges and the complexity of your case. We will talk through it clearly and up front during your free consultation, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
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 sooner you call, the more a former prosecutor can do to protect your license and your future. Free, confidential, and our phones are answered 24/7.
