First Time Offenses & Repeat Offenses

Experienced Legal Help for
First-Time and Repeat DUI Offenders

It doesn't matter whether this is the first time you've been charged or you have already been convicted of a DUI — experienced legal representation is something you can't afford to do without.

At Ross & Schnarrs, we provide experienced, effective DUI defense to people in the Pottstown area and the surrounding portions of southeast Pennsylvania. We understand the complexities of Pennsylvania's DUI laws. We know how to effectively defend both first-time and repeat DUI offenders. We are well aware of the different ways in which these cases are handled in various jurisdictions and of the different sentencing alternatives available in each.

Together, these assets will help us stand strong in your defense.

Dealing With First-Time DUIs and Multiple Offenses

In Pennsylvania, all DUI convictions carry mandatory minimum penalties, the severity of which depends on blood-alcohol content (BAC) levels and the number of previous DUI convictions a person has had in the last 10 years. The higher the BAC and the more prior convictions — the greater the penalties. Causing an accident or refusing to take a breath or blood test can increase the penalties as well.

Whatever your situation and whatever county or city in this area you've been charged in, our lawyers can take immediate action designed to resolve the matter as quickly and as quietly and as favorably as possible.

In some cases, the most positive result could be placement into an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program — an outcome that could keep a DUI charge off your criminal record. In other cases, particularly if you have previous DUI convictions, the ideal result might be a minimum license suspension or jail time. Getting the charges dropped, the case dismissed or winning an acquittal at trial could be realistic options too.

In any case, you can depend on us to keep you fully informed, involved in your own defense and prepared for what to expect every step of the way.
