Posted by David | October 28, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Positive experience with a great team

I interviewed several attorneys and I feel lucky to have found Ed and Lauren. They were always professional, explained possible and likely outcomes with clarity and helped me to not lose my mind with worry. They were available to answer questions (when needed) and I always felt like I had the best re...presentation possible. Given the facts in my case, I am really pleased with the outcome and would hire them again without hesitation, should the need arise. Ed's past experience as an MVA judge not only helped me understand a complicated process, but he also saved my license (without any restrictions) with equal parts skill and luck.

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!

Huge Relief

I was charged with my second dui. I was scared about losing my job and possibly doing jail time. I chose DUI attorney Ed Tayter as my lawyer to represent me. I was facing two years in prison and was very worried about how this may affect my future. Ed examined my case and was confident that he coul...d get me out of jail time. Ed kept me in the loop about my case. The best moment was when he let me know about the calibration date for the breathalyzer machine, which was great for my case because we found out the machine was not tested correctly. At the conclusion of the case Ed was able to have the DUI, along with several other traffic violations, completely dismissed. The outcome was a minor traffic ticket with no jail time and keeping my license. This outcome was a huge relief

"I was put in contact with Attorney Tayter when seeking information about the impact of an out of state OWI/DUI conviction on a Maryland driver's license and the process for obtaining an occupational license. Attorney Tayter was very knowledgeable, gracious with his time and of great assistance to myself and my client in Maryland. His recommendation for an AODA provider in the state was particularly useful. I would and have recommended Attorney Tayter to assist in OWI/DUI related matters in Maryland."
