We Will Fight For Your Future Against Drunk Driving Charges

If you have been arrested for drunk driving in Pennsylvania, the stakes could not be higher. A DUI conviction could result in the suspension of your driver’s license, substantial fines, restrictive probation, increased auto insurance premiums and even jail time.

Penalties can increase dramatically for a second or third DWI conviction. In order to fight your DUI charge aggressively, you should have an experienced criminal defense and DUI/DWI attorney alongside — someone who can effectively discredit any and all aspects of your arrest.

Too many things can go wrong with a DUI arrest. A bumpy road, malfunction of your motor vehicle, inclement weather or your pre-existing medical condition, such as an allergy, could mistakenly convince police that they have probable cause to stop you. Field sobriety and breath testing can provide inaccurate results.

Timing is important for the safeguarding of your interests in any drunk driving case. For instance, if you don’t request a license hearing in certain cases within 10 days of your arrest, you could lose your right to challenge a license suspension.

Fanelli, Evans & Patel, P.C., Provides The Answers And Results You Need

Among the many factors we carefully examine, related to your DUI arrest, are:

  • If law enforcement had sufficient reasons to stop you, and probable cause to make an arrest
  • If the arresting officer read you your legal rights
  • Proper administration of the Breathalyzer test
  • Accurate blood alcohol content results

One of many points in your favor, if you have been arrested for drunk driving, is that DUI chemical testing in Pennsylvania is far from perfect. We have seen many sources of human error, machine error and lab error in DUI chemical testing and forensic evidence. Our in-depth investigation of your charges can also turn up critical police errors, forensic contamination issues and breath test machine defects and malfunctions. These kinds of issues can spell the difference between a DUI conviction and driver’s license suspension or reinstatement of your driving privileges.
