Pennsylvania DUI/DWI/DAI Defense Lawyer

First Offense DUI Attorney With Offices in Bensalem, Allentown, Doylestown, Quakertown, Willow Grove and Philadelphia

A conviction on DUI/DWI/DAI charges can have very serious consequences for you. License suspension or revocation, fines and jail time are all possible depending on the seriousness of the offense. For many people, their first arrest for drinking and driving is their first encounter with the law. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help fight the charges. Contact your local DUI attorney to schedule your consultation at one of our Pennsylvania office locations.

At the Pennsylvania law firm of Applebaum Joachim Law Group, we use our extensive experience to defend people against all types of drunk driving charges and help them keep their driving privileges. We represent clients in cases that involve test refusal, illegal stops and even vehicular homicide. We also help first-time offenders secure admission to the ARD.

DAI, or driving after imbibing, is Pennsylvania’s term for DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated). DAI works on the principle that a person can be charged with a drunk driving offense if it can be shown that he or she had a blood alcohol content of .08% within two hours of having driven. You don’t even have to be in your car at the time the police talk to you to be charged with an offense.
