About Ryan Christopher Atwell

Ryan C. Atwell has been zealously representing clients throughout the state of Maryland since 2000. He is a passionate advocate for his clients’ rights and dedicated to ensuring that they are treated to the best possible defense to their drunk driving charge. Mr. Atwell has successfully completed the DUI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, the exact same course and training that is recognized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the training of police officers throughout the state of Maryland. This training and knowledge is vital to your defense and your attorney must know not only what the officer did during your stop, but what they were SUPPOSED to do as well. This training allows Mr. Atwell to identify the many mistakes that police officers routinely make and to use those mistakes to your advantage in court. In addition to membership in the National College for DUI Defense, Mr. Atwell has been named to the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Trial Lawyers in the state of Maryland and is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys’ Association.
