Criminal Defense
At Vail A. Kaufman, P.A., our attorneys provide professional and experienced criminal defense representation to Maryland residents, primarily those residing in Montgomery or Prince George’s counties. Our representation includes defense of crimes such as theft, assault, drug or CDS possession (cocaine, marijuana, heroin), but our concentration is on traffic violations and drunk driving defense.
Not Just A Traffic Ticket
The majority of people do not realize that most serious traffic violations are actually criminal offenses. In some cases, what a driver thought was just a traffic ticket can turn out to have a lasting effect on his or her personal freedom. Many traffic offenses can lead to serious punishment, such as jail time, in addition to substantial monetary fines.
When legal problems resulting from the operation of a vehicle arise, your driving privileges, liberty, and welfare are best placed in our hands. If you have been charged with any type of driving violation, from speeding to reckless driving, you need the representation of a lawyer who is experienced in handling traffic violations. We have successfully defended hundreds of traffic violations, and we can help you successfully negotiate the criminal justice system. We provide the experienced representation you need to protect your freedom when you receive a traffic violation such as:
- Driving While License Suspended or Revoked
- Driving Without Insurance
- Following too Closely
- Habitual Offender
- Hit and Run
- Reckless Driving

DUI / DWI • Drunk Driving
For most people, driving a vehicle is a necessary freedom. Our goal is to protect your right to drive. Public perception categorizes people charged with drunk driving as criminals, even before they have been convicted of any crime. Being arrested for drunk driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI) can be a stressful experience. Penalties may include suspension or loss of license, increased insurance rates, jail or prison time, probation, serious fines, and a permanent criminal record.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can make a great difference in the outcome of your case. A skilled criminal defense attorney will know how to challenge your arrest, focusing on whether the stop was legitimate, whether sobriety tests were correctly administered and whether procedures were properly followed.
At the offices of Vail A. Kaufman, we have substantial experience defending clients charges with drunk driving. Please contact us today to see how we can assist you with your case.
