What DWI Means in Wicomico County
Maryland’s DWI law makes it a crime to drive while
impaired by alcohol. Unlike a DUI per se charge (which requires a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.08 or
higher and is governed by § 21-901.1), a DWI charge may be brought even with a lower BAC, based on evidence
that your driving ability was diminished. In Wicomico County, both DUI and DWI charges are heard in the
District Court of Maryland for Wicomico County, and a defendant who wants a jury trial may request that the
case be transferred to the Wicomico County Circuit Court.
The point system in Maryland adds urgency: eight points triggers an MVA administrative hearing, and twelve points
results in revocation. A DWI conviction puts points on your record and can affect your ability to drive,
work, and maintain insurance. Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) is an important option — if granted, it avoids
a conviction and stops points from being assessed. Speed camera tickets ($40) are civil; they carry no
points, but standard moving-violation and DWI citations do. The court that hears traffic cases, the District
Court of Maryland for Wicomico County at 201 Baptist Street, Suite 100, Salisbury, MD 21801, operates Monday
through Friday 8:30 a.m. To 4:30 p.m.
District Court of MD for Wicomico County Court hours: Mon‑Fri 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle DWI Cases
When you work with Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., your DWI case gets a detailed, evidence‑focused evaluation.
Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel start by examining how the traffic stop was initiated — was there a valid reason
to pull you over? They review the administration of any field sobriety tests and the accuracy of the breath
or chemical testing procedure. Maryland’s Implied Consent law (Transportation Art. § 16‑205.1) means that
refusing a breath test can carry its own consequences, including license suspension, and those consequences
must be considered as part of the overall defense strategy.
Throughout the process, the team works to identify every available avenue to protect your driving privileges
and your record. That may mean challenging the admissibility of evidence, negotiating with the prosecutor for
a reduced charge or a PBJ disposition, or taking the case to trial in District or Circuit Court. Because the
firm’s Of Counsel includes a former Assistant State’s Attorney from Maryland, the team understands how the
prosecution builds a DWI case — and how to respond effectively. While no two cases are the same, the goal is
always to achieve the most favorable resolution possible under the facts and the applicable law. Results may vary.
