Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Pennsylvania can result in harsh penalties in the form of mandatory prison sentences and license suspensions. However, the right lawyer can make a difference.  In Moroe County, Pennsylvania, there are many alternatives to the harsh penalties in a DUI case, ranging from: ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition), House Arrest, and Split Sentences with Work Release.  Pike and Carbon counties also offer ARD to qualifying offenders.  We will apply our knowledge and experience to answering these questions for your particular case. When necessary, we are prepared to challenge your DUI in every way possible by:
