There is some important information that all DUI offenders should be aware of.

The legal limit for alcohol in the state of Pennsylvania is .08%. If your BAC level is found to be above this limit, you will be charged for DUI. The state of Pennsylvania separates BAC test results into three categories:

.08 to .099
.10 to .159
.16 and up

Our Pittsburgh DUI Attorney is Highly Effective

If this is your first DUI and your BAC level was in the first category, you face a fine up to $300, possible jail time and a probation period of six months. Your driver’s license will not be suspended in this case, however if your BAC level was in the second or third category, it will definitely be suspended. Clients should know and understand that in the state of Pennsylvania, it is a separate offense to refuse a BAC test.

It is very important to also contact the DMV following your arrest. You have 30 calendar days following your arrest to request a hearing with the DMV; or else your license may be automatically suspended. Clients should note that the DMV is its own independent entity; while a judge may not order your license suspended, the DMV can and will. A good attorney can help stop this action.
