DUI / DWI

DUI / DWI Charges in Pennsylvania

In recent years, Pennsylvania has dramatically increased the penalties for Driving under the Influence (DUI). A conviction for DUI will have a serious impact upon your personal life and employment. These consequences include jail, fines, license suspensions and the requirement of an interlock device in your car following the restoration of your license. If you have one or more prior convictions for DUI in the previous ten years, the consequences are even more severe.

Philadelphia DUI Attorney

With so much at stake, you need an experienced trial attorney to properly evaluate your case for trial, and explain the possible sentencing implications for DUI. In Philadelphia County, you must also consider options other than proceeding to trial. Philadelphia offers a Treatment Court option for those people with prior convictions. In the counties surrounding Philadelphia, there are Intermediate Punishment (IP) Programs available that will help you avoid many of the penalties that come along with a DUI conviction.

If you are experiencing a first arrest, we will ensure you have the option of participating in Pennsylvania's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program. This program allows you to avoid prosecution for your DUI arrest and have it erased from your record.

Just because you have been arrested for DUI, does not mean you will be found guilty. With over ten years of trial experience, the Law Office of Andrew Gay, Jr., will review all of the police documents with you and counsel you on your best trial strategy.
