Premier DUI and DWI defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware is Maryland-based and nationally-respected for his consistent successful representation of clients charged with drunk driving in Maryland and Washington, D.C.  For an initial, confidential and courtesy consultation, contact DUI defense attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He and his staff can help you.


If you have been charged with drunk driving and you either have already, or may be seeking a security clearance, call us immediately for a courtesy consultation. Do not attempt to represent yourself against DUI or DWI charges. Personally and professionally, you have a lot at stake in this situation. Drunk driving convictions could seriously affect you security clearance, and consequently your professional career.


Just choosing, for example, one of several sections of Federal Government regulations that address security clearance issues, see the guidelines in Chapter 32, Section 147 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  There are at least thirteen (13) adjudicative guidelines for persons who require access to classified information.  Drunk driving (DUIs and DWIs) is relevant to at least five (5) of these adjudicative guidelines. By itself, this information can be ominous; but, it should be noted that the guidelines are suppose to view the "whole-person" in determining whether the individual qualifies to access " classified "information. Further, there are varying degrees of classified information to be considered in several different agencies with several different rules and classifications of "classified" data.


A general synopsis to this discussion of the possible effects a DUI or DWI could have on a person's Federal security clearance could be as follows: The Federal adjudicative guidelines state that "...excessive alcohol consumption often leads to the exercise of questionable judgment or the failure to control impulses, and can raise questions about an individual's reliability and trustworthiness". Simply stated, the presumption is that alcohol abusers are more likely than others to engage in careless or in reckless behavior that can create an increased risk of unauthorized disclosure of classified information.


The bottom line is this : Do not self-represent yourself when charged with drunk driving Get a good DUI attorney, instead.
