DUI – YOU ARE NOT JUST A NUMBER
DUI arrests are one of the most common charges in Pennsylvania, with over a million drivers arrested annually in the U.S. for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. The arrest rate translates to approximately one arrest for every 215 licensed drivers. Defending against a DUI charge requires deep knowledge of DUI law, police procedures, and field sobriety tests. Each case requires a tailored defense strategy, considering factors such as the specifics of the case, blood alcohol limits, and whether the driver is a first-time or repeat offender.
For first-time offenders, a different defense strategy is needed, often involving the ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition) program in Pennsylvania. If eligible for ARD, defendants do not have to plead guilty, won’t be convicted, and will see the charges dismissed. However, defending a multiple DUI offense or one involving an accident and injury can result in harsher penalties. In these cases, having an experienced DUI attorney is essential to ensure the best possible outcome.
