Criminal Defense Attorney Helping You Fight DUI Penalties
A DUI can happen to anybody who simply makes an error in judgment. And more and more, Pennsylvania police are cracking down on driving under the influence. The penalties for drunk driving are harsher and harsher — even if you have only had a small amount to drink.
I am Michael F. Dunn, Attorney at Law. At my Glenside, Pennsylvania, law firm, I represent people who have been accused of drunk driving — with the goal of minimizing or eliminating potential penalties of DUI.
What Penalties Will I Face?
When someone has been arrested for DUI, the first thing they often want to know is the penalties they will face. I tell them that each situation is unique. DUI penalties, like jail time and fines, are based on your number of prior offenses and blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of the arrest.
You will face DUI penalties beyond jail time and fines. Your driver's license will be jeopardized. Treatment for alcoholism may be an option for you. So may house arrest that requires you to wear an ankle bracelet for monitoring. You may also be required to have an ignition interlock device placed in your car. Your insurance rates could go up as well.
Many times, depending on the circumstances, a DWI defense attorney may be able to negotiate a disposition that allows you to avoid these potentially serious consequences. You may also be able to have your criminal record cleared — or expunged — after all matters have been concluded.
