My hard earned personal and professional experiences have made me a fiercely competitive, yet calm, calculated and practical attorney.
I understand there are many nuances involved in effectively defending your case.
There are and will be times when we will fight the other side through litigation.
There are and will be times when your interests are best served by careful and timely negotiation.
Understanding when and how to use these and other approaches WILL determine the outcome of your case.
As your Erie criminal defense lawyer, I approach every case with two goals.
It should come as a little surprise the charge of DUI in Erie PA is impacting especially given that Driving Under the Influence represents the misdemeanor offense individuals are most likely to face at some point in their lifetime.
Even the most law abiding and upstanding members of this community can, depending in some instances on circumstances beyond their control, be put in a position where they will be charged with DUI.
The reason that is the case is very simple.
Nearly everyone drinks alcohol, and at some point nearly everyone who drinks is going to drive at a time and location where a police officer is going to believe they're impaired.
This dynamic in and of itself can significantly increase your risk of receiving a sentence of incarceration.
Your prior record is the other big factor when making an initial determination of the likely outcome in your case.
Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) is available to Defendants with minimal or no prior record.
This program allows a charge of Driving Under the Influence to be expunged upon completion of probation.
The program generally consists of a period of probation along with other sanctions and treatment options depending on the facts and circumstances of you individual case.
There are a variety of different charges one can receive when charged with Driving Under the Influence by law enforcement.
And, in most instances you won't just be charged with one offense.
Most of the time you will be charged with two and in some instances as many as four different DUI offenses in Erie PA.
How many you are charged with initially will depending on whether you provided blood or breath for chemical testing and whether law enforcement believes you have drugs in your system as well.
DUI offenders in Pennsylvania may be eligible for the ARD Program.
The Pennsylvania ARD Program provides first-time and repeat offenders with a chance to avoid DUI conviction on their permanent record.
ARD stands for "Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition" - It is a pre-trial diversion program required by the State of Pennsylvania to promptly dispose of all charges for DUI offenders, as long as the conditions are met.
Many people have a misconception that the ARD DUI PA Program lets offenders off the hook, but it's not that simple.
