South Central Pennsylvania DUI Attorney

DUI Lawyer in Cumberland County, Dauphin County & York County

Everyone knows that "Drunk Driving" or driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious charge that can have very harsh consequences in Pennsylvania.  The punishments you can face if convicted of DUI include driver license suspension or revocation, jail time, fines, house arrest, ignition interlock device installation, probation and required alcohol highway safety school attendance.  If you have been arrested for DUI, call the experienced DUI Defense lawyers at Colgan Marzzacco.  Attorney David Hershey and Attorney Shawn Curry possess the knowledge, training and skill needed to help aggressively defend you in a DUI matter.   Attorney David Hershey has been representing persons charged with DUI for over 22 years and has handled well over 2,000 cases in his career!  Attorney Curry has received certification as an Instructor in Standard Field Sobriety Testing and as an Evidentiary Breath Test Technician relating to DUI litigation.

Did you know that if you violate the Motor Vehicle Code while driving and a police officer observes the violation, that officer has the right to pull you over to investigate.  This means that even driving your car or truck with a burned-out headlight or "rolling" through a stop sign gives law enforcement the right to stop your vehicle.  Once pulled over, if the officer smells the odor of alcohol or other intoxicant, he or she has the ability to ask you to submit to Standard Field Sobriety Tests (SFST).  If you fail the SFSTs, which are designed with that objective in mind, the officer will require you to submit to a breath, blood or urine test to determine your blood-alcohol content (BAC).  If over the the legal limit or if the officer determines that you are incapable of safe driving, you will be arrested for DUI.

Depending upon your situation, you could be subject to more serious penalties.  For example, if you have prior drunk driving or other DUI convictions on your record, you could lose your license for a longer period of time and you could be subject to longer jail time, steeper fines and more.  In fact, because of "mandatory" jail sentences, often prosecutors and law enforcement will seek long prison terms for repeat DUI offenders.  Only a skilled DUI Lawyer can help you beat a wrongful DUI or negotiate a non-jail sentence in court.

Required installation of an ignition interlock device is also a frequent consequence of certain types of DUI convictions.  The ignition interlock will be installed in your vehicle and it will require that you blow into the device to show that you do not have alcohol in your system before the vehicle will start.  Additionally, you will be required to blow into the device at random times during the vehicle’s operation in order to ensure that you aren’t driving while under the influence of alcohol. 

License restriction/suspension is also a common consequence of DUI arrests/conviction.  A drivers license suspension can affect your ability to live and work successfully in the community.  A loss of license often affects family members and friends, as they are often the ones providing transportation to a convicted DUI driver.  If you value your driving privileges, you should speak immediately with an experienced DUI defense attorney at Colgan Marzzacco.
