Open Container Attorney - Maronick Law LLC

Think an Open Container Charge Is No Big Deal? Think Again.

In Ocean City, even carrying a half-open beer can on a sidewalk can land you with a serious citation. Local laws strictly prohibit open alcohol in public spaces — including streets, parks, and vehicles. What feels like a minor mistake could result in hefty fines, court appearances, and a permanent mark on your record. Enforcement is especially aggressive in busy tourist areas. Don’t take chances.

If you’ve been cited for an open container violation in Ocean City, Maryland, you need to take it seriously. Local law enforcement is known for strictly policing alcohol consumption in public areas. At Maronick Law, LLC, we offer skilled legal representation to help you fight open container charges and protect your record — whether you’re a local or just visiting.

How Maronick Law, LLC Can Help

With years of experience defending clients in Ocean City, Maronick Law, LLC knows how to navigate local ordinances and court systems to get results. We offer more than legal representation — we offer a strategic defense tailored to your situation.

Our Core Values

Do You Need a Lawyer for an Open Container Charge?

If you’ve been cited for possessing an open container of alcohol in Ocean City, Maryland, don’t dismiss it as “just a ticket.” Even minor infractions can lead to fines, court appearances, or a permanent criminal record — especially in a high-enforcement area like Ocean City.

At Maronick Law, LLC, we understand how local prosecutors handle these cases and know what it takes to protect your record and minimize the fallout.

A Lawyer Can Help You...

Open container laws are more aggressive than many realize. Even a sealed bottle that’s been opened previously — in a backpack, passenger seat, or beach bag — can lead to legal trouble. We’ll help you understand what you’re facing and whether your rights may have been violated.

A conviction can lead to 1.) Fines and court costs; 2.) A permanent criminal record; 3.) Impacts on employment or background checks; 4.) Additional charges if tied to public intoxication or underage possession. We’ll explain exactly what’s on the line based on your situation and Maryland law.

From filing motions to negotiating with prosecutors, our firm takes care of the paperwork and the pressure. We handle court scheduling, communication with local authorities, and — if needed — can fight for you in trial.

With decades of courtroom experience in Ocean City, Maronick Law, LLC knows how to challenge these charges. We may be able to get the case dismissed, reduced to a lesser offense, or keep it off your record entirely.

Not Sure If You Need a Attorney? Here’s a General Guide:

Hire an attorney if: 1.) You were charged alongside another offense (like disorderly conduct or DUI); 2.) You’re underage or were caught in a vehicle; 3.) You already have a criminal record.

Strongly consider legal help if: 1.) You’re from out of state and can’t appear in court easily; 2.) The charge occurred in a high-profile area (like the boardwalk or beach); 3.) You were cited during a special enforcement period (like holidays).

Legal advice is still smart if: 1.) You’re unsure about your rights or court process; 2.) You hold a professional license or security clearance; 3.) You’ve never been in legal trouble and want to keep it that way.
