Attorneys Providing Clients in Western Pennsylvania Experienced and Affordable Representation in Driving Under the Influence Defense:
As part of our criminal defense practice at Mansmann & Moore, our attorneys have great expertise in defending DUI cases. While these cases may seem less serious than violent crimes, they still have punitive repercussions. DUI offenses can come with mandatory jail sentences, even when it is your first offense! Furthermore, almost every DUI offense comes with a mandatory driver’s license suspension.
Such repercussions can be very unnerving, which is why it is important to have an attorney that you can trust and is extremely knowledgeable about DUI offenses in Pennsylvania. An attorney can help assist you in achieving alternative sentencing provisions such as house arrest, minimized license suspensions, programs allowing you to expunge your record, and even dismiss the case at trial.
How to Determine if a DUI Arrest is Lawful
Many factors determine whether you were stopped and arrested lawfully. Proving drunk driving is more difficult than many people think, and our attorneys are adept at finding flaws in the prosecution’s case. Perhaps the tests were administered improperly or your rights were violated without you even knowing it. Our DUI attorneys will want to know a few things about your arrest:
- Can the officer prove you were driving?
- Did the officer have a legitimate reason for pulling you over?
- Did you admit to consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs?
- Did the officer ask you to get out of the car?
- Did the officer correctly administer your field sobriety exercises?
- Did the officer have probable cause to arrest you?
- Did the officer explain to you the implied consent law?
- Did you consent to a BAC test?
It is very difficult to successfully fight a DUI charge in Pennsylvania unless the officer made a mistake or violated your rights, but officer errors do occur frequently. A qualified and experienced DUI defense attorney can analyze your arrest and spot relevant flaws in the prosecutorial evidence. Allow Mansmann and Moore, LLP’s defense attorneys help you determine the best way to proceed in your DUI case.
