Up to 2 years jail, up to $2,000 fine, 1-year license suspension (12 points)
Maryland distinguishes between DUI (0.08%+) and DWI (0.07%). DUI carries harsher penalties. Refusal to test results in 270-day license suspension.
Legal for adults 21+ (up to 1.5 oz usable, 12g concentrate). Previous convictions for amounts now legal are eligible for expungement.
Maryland legalized recreational marijuana in 2023. Drug courts are available in most jurisdictions across the state.
Misdemeanor (second degree assault) — up to 10 years jail, $2,500 fine
Felony (first degree assault) — up to 25 years prison
Maryland requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force. You must retreat if you can do so safely, except in your home (Castle Doctrine). Deadly force is only justified to prevent imminent death or serious bodily harm.
Maryland expanded expungement eligibility significantly. Most misdemeanors are eligible 3 years after completion of sentence. Some nonviolent felonies eligible 10 years after. Cannabis-related offenses eligible for immediate expungement.
Maryland does not use the felony/misdemeanor distinction in the traditional sense — offenses are classified by maximum penalty rather than label.
Montgomery County and Baltimore have sanctuary-like policies limiting ICE cooperation. However, federal immigration law still applies. Maryland's proximity to DC means many Arab immigrants work for the federal government — criminal charges can jeopardize both immigration status and security clearances.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
