We routinely meet with our incarcerated criminal clients in prison or jail. Experience On The Other Side Of The Courtroom Prior to opening our firm, attorney Daniel Donohue worked as a prosecutor and worked for a criminal defense judge. We have handled every aspect of criminal defense cases. That experience gives us a strong understanding of what tools are available and how cases should be prepared and presented. Likewise, we know how to react when there are violations, and we know how to effectively challenge existing information.
Driving Under The Influence (DUI)/Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers Serving Havertown, Upper Darby And The Surrounding Communities Almost everyone knows someone who was charged with drunk driving. At a basic level, that means many people in Pennsylvania understand the seriousness of DUI charges. However, because every arrest is different, it’s critical to work with an experienced lawyer who can protect your rights and educate you about your options. At Donohue & Donohue, PC, we have nearly 30 years of experience helping individuals throughout Havertown, Upper Darby and the surrounding communities protect their best interests. We help first-time offenders and repeat offenders minimize the consequences of the charges they are facing and reduce the impact of the arrest on their lives. Before you talk to the police, talk to an attorney. You need to understand the charges you are facing and your options. Understanding Mandatory Minimum Sentences And DUI Penalties In Pennsylvania, a third DUI conviction can result in a mandatory year in prison. Driving on a license that was suspended after a DUI arrest can leave people facing a mandatory minimum of two months in jail. Although people understand the seriousness of criminal charges, many people fail to realize the immediate impact a conviction could have on their lives. If you qualify for and successful complete ARD (a Pennsylvania diversionary program that stands for Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition), you may be able to earn a complete dismissal of the charges with minimal collateral consequences. However, individuals must work with an attorney if they are interested in qualifying for ARD.
