DUI/License Suspensions
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Area DUI Defense Lawyers
The consequences of driving under the influence (DUI) in Pennsylvania have been increasing in severity for decades. Enforcement and prosecution are intense today, and facing even a first DUI offense without an experienced defense lawyer involves serious risk.
At Bowers, Ross & Fawcett, we are here to take a hard look at all the circumstances of your DUI arrest or other serious traffic matter and identify the best approach to your defense. We have a strong track record of dismissals and negotiations for manageable consequences. For personal attention to your case and individual needs, please contact us now.
Knowledge to Deal with Your Criminal Charge and Driver's License Suspension
Even with all the media attention focused on this offense, penalties for a DUI conviction remain a shock to many people. In addition to significant fines, insurance cost implications, and even jail time, first offenders must deal with a potential mandatory driver's license suspension that can be personally and financially crippling. If you have multiple DUI arrests or special circumstances such as a high BAC, the situation is incrementally more serious.
Vigorous Investigation into All Potential Lines of Defense
Our experienced criminal defense attorneys are adept as assessing evidence and circumstances in your DUI or traffic case, and we know how best to handle both criminal proceedings and the civil matter involving the driver's license suspension proceeding by the DOT.
Applying experience gained as prosecutors as well as defenders, we will examine factors such as:
- Whether the arresting officer had probable cause for stopping your vehicle
- Any coercion of statements, failure to advise you of your right to remain silent and contact an attorney, or other civil rights violations
- Whether equipment used in breath or blood testing has been properly certified, calibrated and operated
