First Time DUI Avoids Suspended License

Our firm was recently contacted by a 35-year-old man with no prior criminal history arrested in Beaver County and charged with a DUI. Our client’s Blood Alcohol Count (BAC) at the time of arrest was .16 placing him in the highest tier of DUI charges. This DUI charge carries penalties of up to six months in jail, up to $5,000 in fines, a suspended license for one year and required attendance of the alcohol highway safety school.

Due to the experience of our Beaver defense attorneys we were able to negotiate with the Commonwealth to lower the DUI charges which allowed our client to attend the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program. Our client received only six months of supervised probation and did not have his license suspended. Our experience with DUI charges gives our attorneys the knowledge and understanding needed to successfully defend our clients in representing them in their criminal cases.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
