Legal Challenges to a Pennsylvania DUI Charge  

The best Pennsylvania DUI attorneys don’t give up because the facts look grim.  Experienced DUI lawyers know that every step should be considered to contest a conviction for driving while intoxicated; including legal challenges.  

The Dui defense lawyers of Ciccarelli Law Offices reviews every case to analyze and attack the District Attorney’s case and to determine any illegality by the Police in how they stopped you, questioned you, arrested you and tested you for DUI.  

Whether it is to fight for a Miranda Rights violation for an illegally taken statement or contesting a breathalyzer result from an intoxilyzer improperly calibrated, or suppressing a stop by a Police Officer for racial profiling; the Ciccarelli DUI Defense Team will work with you for the best result. 

The issues your Pennsylvania DUI attorney will consider when determining which pretrial motions to submit include whether the stop of your vehicle was legal, whether the field tests administered to you were instructed and scored properly leading to a proper arrest decision by the officer, whether or not your arrest was lawful, whether you were advised of your Miranda rights before being questioned, your chemical test results were accurate, whether complaints have been made against the arresting officer, and, if you have prior DUI convictions, whether those can be stricken from the record to reduce your potential repercussions.   

Pretrial motions may significantly strengthen your defense in your Pennsylvania DUI case. A Pennsylvania DUI Lawyer will carefully evaluate your case to determine the pretrial motions that may improve your prospects in your driving under the influence case.   

It may be possible to fight your PA DUI charge and win, but you’ll never know if you plead guilty without first exploring your options. Ciccarelli Law Offices can review your case to determine whether the district attorney’s case has weaknesses that are open to challenge. Please contact us today for a free consultation.
