SUCCESSFUL DUI DEFENSE ATTORNEY SERVING PHILADELPHIA, BUCKS, MONTGOMERY AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES
1ST OFFENSE DUI PENNSYLVANIA:
DUI or Driving under the influence is a heavily prosecuted offense in Pennsylvania. Essentially, an individual can be charged with a DUI for driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or a combination of both. DUI charges may also occur from driving under the influence of prescription narcotics. DUI arrests are commonly generated from DUI checkpoints, accidents, and driving infractions. A DUI conviction can have a devastating impact on an individual's normal way of life. DUI penalties can potentially result in varying lengths of incarceration and substantial fines and costs.
Equally as impactful can be the loss of one's driving privileges. Losing your license for any amount of time, especially one year potentially for a first offense, can be an incredible burden. Whether you drive for a living, are a professional in the field, a student or care for your family, the loss of your driver’s license can be life-altering.
