    • Richard Ames: The first step in the lengthy legal process you are about to enter will be the scheduling of a Preliminary Hearing at the district justice level. Talk to any judge and he will tell you that the legal purpose of this hearing is to allow the district justice to make a determination as to whether the police have enough evidence to hold your case for trial. Don't hold your breath though. Courts rarely turns down a police officer's case. Often a lawyer will simply advise you to waive your preliminary hearing. Sometimes he'll use the hearing to try to find out exactly what the police know and what they don't know about your case. Talk to your attorney about it.
  • Lahaska
    • Brian Koch: Many criminal cases can be resolved through negotiations between a seasoned criminal lawyer and a reasonable prosecutor. But not all cases can or should be resolved in that manner.

In the wake of a drunk driving arrest, certain questions need to be answered through painstaking analysis and investigation, including: * Was the stop legal? * Were the field sobriety tests administered fair and valid? * Is there proof that the Breathalyzer machine used for your breath test has been properly maintained and calibrated? * Is there a vehicular manslaughter aspect to the charges? (Was someone killed in an accident that led to the arrest?) Time is of the essence after an arrest for DUI. In fact, you only have a limited amount of time (10 days) to request a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles before your driversÕ license is automatically suspended. However, by dealing with the matter right away, you may be able to protect your driving privileges.

A defense, by contrast, does not depend on refuting such allegations but introduces new matter, arguing that, even if the allegations against the defendant are true, the defendant is entitled to prevail for some other reason.
  • Waynesboro
  • Waynesburg
    • Harry Cancelmi: For most people, the criminal charge of DUI/DWI/DAI ("Driving After Imbibing") raises instant concern over the effect a guilty verdict could have on driving privileges, employment opportunities, and family relationships. But even if you are charged, you still have rights - the right to remain silent, the right to an administrative hearing, and the right to an attorney. So if you or a loved one is arrested for DUI, you deserve a lawyer who can answer all your questions, examine every aspect of your arrest and testing, and who will seek to minimize the penalties.

  • Wexford
    • Michael Sherman: You face stiff penalties including jail and license suspension.
  • Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
    • Brad Kurlancheek: Just because a Blood or Breath Test being run and controlled by the government produces a number greater than .10 or .08, that does not mean you are necessarily guilty of DUI. Machines can and do mistakes. So can the technicians that run them. The police make mistakes. They often stop drivers without reasonable suspicion. They arrest drivers for DUI without probable cause. They make procedural mistakes which would, if the case were tried, instead of plead, render the arrested driver an Acquittal. The crime is "impairment while driving," not "drinking while driving." Do not be persuaded to plead guilty to something you didn't do, simply because your attorney lacks the technical knowledge on how to fight and win your DUI case, when it should be fought and won. I will provide you a thorough no-cost evaluation of your case. We don't believe in pleading guilty for our clients; nor do we accept ARD. We fight for you, to the very fullest extent of the law, to gain an acqu ittal of your DUI charge.
