Lower Shore Criminal Defense: DUI, Drug & Underage Charges Across Eastern Maryland
The Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland—covering Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset Counties—is known for heavy seasonal tourism, strict law enforcement, and small-town court systems that don’t take criminal charges lightly. Whether you’ve been arrested in Ocean City, Salisbury, Princess Anne, or any rural community in between, you need a criminal defense attorney who understands how to win in these courts.
At Maronick Law, LLC, our Ocean City Criminal Lawyers bring decades of experience and an unmatched understanding of the Lower Shore’s legal landscape. From DUI arrests on Route 50 to underage alcohol violations on the Ocean City boardwalk or drug charges in downtown Salisbury, we handle it all—with focus, strategy, and results.
Focused Lower Shore DUI Defense That Gets Results
Law enforcement in Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset is highly focused on DUI enforcement, particularly during tourist-heavy months. We routinely represent clients arrested for:
- DUI and multiple DUI offenses
- Breath test refusal cases
- Underage DWI
- Open Container violations
With deep knowledge of how each county court operates—from Ocean City to Salisbury to Princess Anne—we build a defense strategy based on local procedures, available diversion programs, and the specific prosecutor on your case.
Three Counties, One Strategic Legal Approach
Every Lower Shore county operates a bit differently:
- Worcester County (Ocean City, Berlin, Snow Hill) is aggressive with DUI charges, especially during peak season.
- Wicomico County (Salisbury) deals with a mix of urban crime, traffic cases, and student-related offenses.
- Somerset County (Princess Anne, Crisfield) handles a smaller docket but can be strict with underage and drug-related charges.
Maronick Law, LLC knows these differences—and uses them to your advantage.
Don’t Let a Lower Shore Arrest Define You
Even a first-time offense can leave a permanent mark. Our team works to dismiss or reduce charges, secure alternative sentencing, and minimize long-term consequences. Whether you’re a resident, student, or tourist, we fight to protect your record and your future.
