When we choose to take a case, we do so with an understanding of what is at stake and a deep sense of commitment to the client we serve. Our Approach We work closely with our clients to expand their opportunities for a favorable result. Unlike some firms, we do not immediately move in the direction of a plea agreement. Our objective in each case is to obtain a charge dismissal or a not-guilty verdict. When efforts to obtain a dismissal have been fully exhausted and it is not in a clients best interest to fight the charges at trial, we will seek the most favorable plea agreement on his or her behalf. We understand that our clients rely on us for an aggressive defense. Our Experience Attorney Michael H. Applebaum has more than 40 years of legal experience. He has defended thousands of clients in criminal cases. He is a highly respected and experienced trial lawyer, having tried hundreds of criminal cases.

Put A Top DUI Lawyer To Work For You Attorney Michael H. Applebaum has been practicing law in Pennsylvania for more than 40 years. He is highly respected throughout the legal community and has a well-earned reputation as a fierce advocate for his clients rights. He is one of the states premier trial lawyers and has defended thousands of clients against criminal charges. He has extensive experience defending clients who have been charged with drunk driving. Protect Your Rights Many people plead guilty to DUI charges because they feel they have no other choice. Before you plead guilty to a DUI charge, consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney to ensure the protection of your rights. Pennsylvania DUI laws are highly technical. Even if you were over the legal limit, you may have a viable defense. There are a number of ways that our attorneys defend clients who have been charged with drunk driving. We carefully review police conduct that led to the arrest of our clients to determine if any errors may be used to bolster their defense: Did your arresting officer have sufficient cause to stop your vehicle? Did the officer properly administer your breath test? Was the testing device working properly? Did the officer properly conduct your field sobriety tests? Did the officer violate your constitutional rights? We will seize any opportunity to have the charges against you dismissed, and we are always ready to present the strongest possible case to a judge or jury in an effort to obtain an acquittal. If this is your first DUI charge, you may be eligible for ARD, or Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, a diversionary program for first-time offenders. ARD gives you the opportunity to avoid jail time, loss of your license and a criminal record if you successfully complete the terms of your ARD program. Not everyone is admitted into an ARD program. However, a knowledgeable DUI attorney can help to minimize the impact of your DUI arrest and work on your behalf for entry into the program.
