Protect Your Rights

Many people plead guilty to DUI charges because they feel they have no other choice. Before you plead guilty to a DUI charge, consult with our experienced criminal defense attorneys to ensure the protection of your rights.

Pennsylvania DUI laws and the amount of proof are highly technical. Even if you were over the legal limit, you may have a viable defense. There are a number of ways that our attorneys defend clients who have been charged with drunk driving. We carefully review police conduct that led to the arrest of our clients to determine if any errors may be used to suppress the evidence and bolster their defense:

  • Did your arresting officer have sufficient cause to stop your vehicle?
  • Did the officer properly administer your breath test?
  • Was the testing device working properly?
  • Did the officer properly conduct your field sobriety tests?
  • Did the officer violate your constitutional rights?

We will seize any opportunity to have the blood or breath results reviewed and push to have the charges against you dismissed. We are always ready to present the strongest possible case to a judge or jury in an effort to obtain an acquittal.

If this is your first DUI charge, you may be eligible for ARD, or Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, a diversionary program for first-time offenders, but each county District Attorney has its own rules. ARD gives you the opportunity to avoid jail time, loss of your license and a criminal record and if you successfully complete the terms of your ARD program. Not everyone is admitted into an ARD program. However, a knowledgeable DUI attorney can help to navigate the requirements and minimize the impact of your DUI arrest, and work on your behalf for entry into the program.
