Media, Pennsylvania, DUI Attorneys When it comes to the penalties for a DUI conviction, Pennsylvania uses a tiered system based on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC). In addition to the BAC results, the sentence can be greatly affected by the number of prior offenses you have had. Second and third DUI offenses carry far more serious penalties. If you were charged with DUI in Pennsylvania, turn to Michael F. X. Gillin & Associates, P.C. Our criminal law attorneys will analyze your level of intoxication and any prior offenses in order to determine the appropriate course of action to defend your rights. We will also investigate whether the police violated any of your constitutional rights during the traffic stop or arrest, whether the evidence was handled according to the correct chain of custody, and whether an expert should be hired to challenge the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in its analysis of your BAC. You May Be Able To Get The Charge Expunged If this is your first DUI offense, you may be eligible to participate in the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program in Pennsylvania. Successfully completing the ARD program and serving probation will allow your criminal record to be “expunged” or cleared. This means that potential employers, landlords and others will not be able to tell you were ever arrested or charged with drunk driving.
