Pennsylvania Driving Under the Influence Law Firm
Driving Under the influence can be a serious offense. The laws of Pennsylvania have become extremely strict.
However it does not have to be a devastating event in ones life. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania does have a program for first time offenders know as Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD). This program would allow a qualified individual to not have to serve a jail sentence and only have their license suspended for 30-90 days depending on the case.
At the conclusion of the ARD, your record can be expunged. ARD is not considered a conviction. I have assisted hundreds of clients through this process, and I can help you.
Not everyone can get ARD. Some people do not qualify. In that case you need an attorney who knows what to look for in defending a DUI case. Did the officer have probable cause to make the stop? Did they properly administer a field sobriety test? Was your blood or breath tested in timely manner?
All these questions and more need to be scrutinized by an experienced attorney who has both prosecuted and defended these types of cases.
I will ensure that you are treated fairly and that the Commonwealth meets its burden. My law office is conveniently located in downtown Doylestown, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Contact me for a
free initial consultation.
