Five stars is still not enough!I am extremely appreciative of Mr. Vernon Brownlee and his exceptional legal counsel provided to me during my legal proceeding in regards to a traffic citation. I am nervous whenever I am the defendant in any case. However, throughout the entire ordeal he was transparent and assured me that this is not as extreme as I thought and there should not be a drastic outcome. (Which is always calming to hear from your lawyer!) Vernon kept me abreast of court dates, details on what he was working on for my case, and all possible outcomes of the case. He answered any questions that I had (I had a lot!) and explained it multiple times until I understood. He was always responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and most importantly professional. He was so good that I often thought I was his only client! I absolutely made the perfect choice on choosing Vernon to represent me. I don’t recommend getting traffic citations, however, choosing Vernon as your lawyer if you do; I highly recommend!

His attention to detail and commitment to uncovering every possible angle of defense was truly impressive.The culmination of Mr. Brownlee’s hard work came when he successfully got my case dismissed.

I was in a nightmare situation and I decided to hire Maronick Law. After I gave them the money I lost almost all contact with them. They did absolutely nothing except for make a bad situation worse. I fired them and I had a good feeling about Vernon Brownlee so I called him and immediately hired him after giving me more information in a 15 minute free consultation than Maronick ever did. VERNON BROWNLEE QUASHED MY WARRANT AND COMPLETELY GOT MY CASE DISMISSED. Thank god I found him or else I would’ve had to stayed a few nights in jail! He’s extremely professional and highly motivated. I can’t praise him enough!

I have been a lawyer for over 20 years and I am now a homicide prosector. However, Vernon Brownlee is the lawyer that I trust, and he is the lawyer I refer all of my friends and family to when they have legal matters. Being a prosecutor, I know many lawyers that I can turn to for help. However, Vernon Brownlee is the lawyer for me. He is very knowledgeable about the law, and he takes the time to explain all aspects of the law to his clients. I have known Vernon Brownlee for years, and he is the lawyer for me and my family. I recommend him highly.

I engaged Vernon's services based on a recommendation from a friend, and I am exceedingly pleased that I followed their advice. Vernon successfully assisted me in resolving both a first-degree and a second-degree assault case. I admire his meticulousness and his readiness to offer assistance. His calm and collected demeanor instilled a sense of tranquility in me, knowing that my case was in capable hands. I valued Vernon's receptiveness to my thoughts and his willingness to consider my input. He consistently maintained communication, providing thorough updates and outlining the next steps, ensuring that I remained informed throughout the process. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse Vernon and his law office to anyone seeking legal representation.

LOOK NO FURTHER FOR AN ATTORNEYVernon Brownlee was very professional and the transparency was excellent. Having Mr. Brownlee representing me took a huge burden off of me because he was on top of everything pertaining to my case step by step. He was always available when I needed him. It's unfortunate I can only rate 5 stars because I would definitely rate 10 out of 10. Vernon Brownlee came highly recommended and I understand why. Trust me you won't be disappointed...

DUI Defense FAQs

Getting pulled over for a DUI can be an intimidating experience. However, with some knowledge, you can protect yourself and your rights. If you get pulled over, remember these tips:

Pull over immediately and stay calm.
Provide the officer with the required information, such as driver’s license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration.
Remember to be polite and follow any directions from the officer.
Don’t admit to drinking anything. Any information you provide can be used against you in court.
Remember that you have the right to decline any field sobriety tests. We suggest you politely refuse.
Refuse chemical tests (such as blood, breath, or urine). However, it’s worth noting that when you refuse a chemical test in Maryland, the police officer will confiscate your driver’s license, issue you a paper temporary license, and prepare a case for the Maryland MVA file.
Avoid making any statements to the police officer. Remember that everything is being recorded.

If you are charged with a DUI in Maryland, it is simply an accusation that you have committed a crime. After you receive a charge, it is up to the court to prove you are guilty. If you are found guilty of DUI and it is your first offense, your license may be revoked for up to six months.

According to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, you’ll face criminal penalties and license sanctions if convicted of an impaired driving offense. For a first offense, you’ll receive up to a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail. You’ll be assessed 12 points on your driving record, and your license may be revoked for up to six months.

Many different factors determine the cost of hiring a DUI lawyer in Maryland. Generally speaking, the more serious the charges are, the more you will pay for an attorney. If you hire an attorney to negotiate a plea deal, you’ll pay less than a lawyer to represent you at trial.

If you’ve been charged with a DUI in Maryland, it’s time to contact a DUI defense lawyer. Schedule your free consultation with Vernon Brownlee today.
