New Kensington DWI Lawyers

1. Bitar & Bitar: Criminal Law "Unfortunately, good people are often charged with a crime." No one ever anticipates being charged with a criminal offense. When the government threatens your personal freedom and liberties, you should hire an attorney who is experienced in handling criminal matters.
2. Regoli, David: A DUI conviction can result in jail time, a suspended license, higher insurance fees and many other personal issues including the loss of your job or custody of your children. You need someone who will fight for your rights and help you maintain your ability to care for your family and make a living.
3. George & Joseph: Any delay on your part in unequivocally agreeing to take the test will be considered to be a refusal and you will lose your operator's license in the State of Pennsylvania for a period of one (1) year. The general rule is that it would be in your best interest to submit to a chemical test to determine your blood alcohol content when you are asked to do so by a police officer that has stopped you for driving under the influence of alcohol. Keep in mind there are always exceptions to this general rule. Remember, you do not have the right to select what type of test you will submit to. The arresting officer is the one who decides whether the test will be a blood test, a breath test or a urine test. Avoiding the Worst Consequences A first conviction for DUI will not usually involve jail time, depending on your BAC (level of intoxication) and whether there was an accident. But it puts your driver's license in jeopardy and sets you up for harsh penalties if you are arrested for drunk driving again within 10 years. Many first offenders are eligible for Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Ñ a pre-trial diversionary program that does not require the entry of a plea but allows you to keep the DUI off your public record and (usually) retain your license. If ARD is an option (it's up to the D.A.), Mr. George can advise whether you should accept it or fight the charges. A second or third DUI means mandatory jail time, massive fines, license revocation and other serious consequences. It is critical to fight the charges, and you need an aggressive attorney who knows where the weak spots are Ñ and when to negotiate.
