An attorney that represents DUI clients is non-judgmental about the criminal charges they’re facing. Their goal is to obtain the best possible outcome for their client. They will need to know the facts of the case to build a proper defense and will make someone feel comfortable. A client will feel comfortable enough to ask the questions they need to have answered about their license or their criminal proceeding. There are a variety of mandatory minimum sentences for a driver that’s been arrested for a DUI. A DUI law firm in Lebanon County, PA will fight to obtain the lowest possible penalty or complete acquittal of a case.
A driver who has a .08% up to a .099% in their blood alcohol content will face six months of probation with no license suspension. Although penalties under this lower tier are lenient, very few arrests occur under this scenario. If the alcohol level is higher than .099% up to 1.59%, a driver faces a minimum of 48 hours of jail time, a twelve-month suspension of their license, and probation. There is a very fine line between no license suspension and losing it for twelve months.
When a driver refuses to take a breath or blood test and has a BA of .16% or higher, or has narcotics in their system, they are facing a mandatory minimum of 72 hours up to six months of jail time and probation. Refusing the blood or breath test is an automatic suspension of a driver’s license, even if they weren’t found guilty of the DUI. Subsequent DUI offenses will increase in penalties and will remain on someone’s record forever. This could hurt their chances of employment and will increase their insurance rates. A DUI law firm in Lebanon County, PA will protect a driver’s right to keep their license by preparing an outstanding defense.
