In Pennsylvania, DUI is divided into different categories based on previous convictions. When determining the severity of a charge, prosecutors consider your blood alcohol level, as well as whether it was your second offense, third offense, or more. The system is very complicated and the consequences are steep. For example, if you are a third-time offender in the highest category of BAC, the judge is required to give you one year in jail.
If you face DUI charges as a repeat offender, you want to start finding a way to fight back against the charges. While first-time offenders can often make an arrest go away, a potential second or third conviction requires more care and attention. As an experienced trial lawyer, I am ready to stand up for your rights in court and fight to keep you out of jail.
I have a strong track record of keeping second or third time offenders out of prison. Depending on the level of your BAC, there are different ways to lower the charges and minimize the consequences. From probation to house arrest, I will help you explore your options.
People facing a drunk driving charge with three or more previous DUI convictions face a much tougher challenge in court, but I will step in at the preliminary hearing and help you do everything possible to build your defense.
