Thought it was over for me!

In November I thought my life was over, I destroyed my family life and will be headed to jail for months... After meeting with three different attorneys about my case I was sure I was done for! So I decided to search DUI attorney in Maryland The first name was Ed Tayter DUI attorney. So then I go...ogled Ed Tayter Dui attorney right off the bat I was very impressed with his experience. Soon After I called Mr. Tayter and left a message no more than two minutes past before he responded, I emailed him my charges told him what I remembered after about a half an hour of being on the phone I knew Mr. Tayter was the attorney for me he was patient, knowledgeable, and understanding! Thanks to Mr. Tayter I was able to keep my license, And end up with A great outcome in court, much better than I could have ever imagined!!! He did not stop until he got the best he could for me!!! I walked out of court today feeling as if a house has been lifted off my shoulders! Mr. Tayter is a great attorney, and someone I strongly recommend!!!

1st DUI Offense

After our daughter had her DUI charge, we were lost as to what we should do and how she should go about her defense. Her father found Ed Tayter and we were so appreciative of his knowledge of the system and exactly what she needed to do as early as possible. His outstanding knowledge of the court s...ystem and judges speaks highly. He was even approached by another lawyer with questions for his case and Ed was more than helpful to the other lawyer. My daughter received the best guidance and for that we our grateful.

Great DUI attorney in maryland

I hired Ed because I liked his style, and he is a family person like me. He even made accommodations to meet me on a Saturday. The main reason to hire Ed though, is because he primarily focuses on DUI cases. I was facing a DUI in Calvert County, and I needed Ed’s help. Ed’s level of communication... after I hired him was excellent, he responded to my phone calls and texts immediately every time. The day of court, I was pretty nervous, even though Ed already told me what the outcome was going to be. Ed had met previously with the state prosecutor, and they state agreed to Ed’s requests. There was no evidence from the DUI charge, and even though I didn’t do very well on the “walk test”, Ed was able to prove that it was primarily due to my broken foot and not because they assumed I had been drinking. The state amended the DUI charge, and charged me with a speeding ticket since I was initially pulled over for speeding. The speeding ticket resulted into a PBJ (unsupervised) with NO points, and a $200.00 court fine. I was quite relieved when the judge said that in court. I would most definitely recommend Ed Tayter as the best DUI attorney in Maryland. He was great!

Knowledgable & experienced, a lawyer who kept his words and cared

Mr Tayter is very knowledgeable with his cases. I was arrested August 2013 for my first DUI. Not only the police officer found that I was extremely intoxicated during the night of the incident, I was also charged with attempt fleeting by vehicle and attempt fleeting on foot, due to my extreme intoxic...ation. I was awfully anxious after the incident and sought several lawyers for their opinion; yet Mr. Tayter was the only one that could assuage my concerns. When you hire him, not only you are paying for his expertise on the subject matter, you are also paying for his connection with other lawyers, and most importantly, his knowledge of the judges in Maryland area. He promised me that there will be a 90% chance that I will get out with a PBJ, with a few hundred dollar fines and no further records on my background whatsoever. At first I was a little skeptical about the percentage that he threw out, but after my court day today I was not disappointed at the result: the judge gave me a PBJ of one year probation with no fines. I was really satisfied with Mr Tayter's knowledge and experience on handling DUI cases, and would definitely recommend him for anyone in Maryland who made the same mistake like I did lats year and needed a lawyer to provide them with the best defense they deserve. Another plus for Mr Tayter is that he is willing to offer an alternative payment plan who those who are poor and needed it. He is eager to help and enthusiastic to learn about his clients, which made the rapport established really easy for us.

Extremely pleased and impressed!

First off, when I got my DUI I was embarrassed and overwhelmed by the fact that this was so unexpected. When I was searching for a lawyer I was looking online and got a call back from the firm that contacted me with DUI Attorney Ed Tayter with Price Benowitz, LLP. He definitely knows the DUI process ...to a T and catered his knowledge to my DUI. He made me feel very comfortable with the confidence in his voice and I was glad that he offered a payment plan, which is extremely beneficial to those who otherwise would not be able to afford it entirely up front. When we first sat down, Ed gave me a very clear understanding regarding how things would go and to my relief it went exactly as we thought. Ed took control of the situation and with his knowledge of how PG County works he managed to get my DUI case with a BAC of .23 dismissed. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with Ed’s communication, transparency, and professionalism throughout the entire process and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone with a DUI in Maryland.
