Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol

 

In Pennsylvania, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance, (DUI), is a crime. If you are arrested for D.U.I. it is very important that you consult with an attorney who is qualified to handle your criminal case. The penalties for a conviction for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol can range from less than a year of probation all the way up to a year in prison for a multiple offender. In addition, a license suspension ranging from a few month to a year or more may be an additional consequence of a drunk driving conviction.

 

Each Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol case is different. So, if you are arrested for this offense you should not rely on advise from friends or relatives who were previously arrested themselves on the same charges. Further, you should carefully choose an attorney who has handled these types of cases before. Not all attorneys have litigated D.U.I. cases.
