DUIs and Alcohol Offenses

Pittsburgh DUI Lawyer

Criminal Defense for DUI Charges

In our experience, drivers arrested on DUI charges sometimes refuse to fight the charges out of embarrassment or shame. This is one of the biggest mistakes a driver can make. Even a first-time DUI conviction carries serious penalties — in the form of a suspended driver’s license, court costs, fines, fees for driver’s education courses and increased insurance rates.

Even drivers arrested on first-time drunk-driving charges should consider the benefits of hiring a DUI defense lawyer to help mitigate the consequences. And commercial drivers or drivers facing a second or third DUI conviction should seek legal advice as soon as possible — because the potential criminal penalties for commercial drivers or multiple DUI offenders can be extremely serious, including jail time and a lengthy driver’s license suspension.
