Why Choose Cherry Injury Law for Your DUI Defense

A DUI charge is not a conviction. The right attorney makes all the difference.

Deep Knowledge of PA DUI Law

Pennsylvania's DUI statute has three tiers based on BAC level. We know every nuance — from the general impairment threshold to the highest BAC tier — and build your defense accordingly.

We Challenge the Evidence

Field sobriety tests are subjective. Breathalyzers require proper calibration. Blood draws must follow strict protocols. We scrutinize every piece of evidence for constitutional and procedural defects.

ARD & Diversion Programs

For eligible first-time offenders, ARD can mean no conviction on your record. We guide you through the application process and advocate for your acceptance.

Time-Sensitive — Act Now

License suspension hearings have strict deadlines. Waiting even a few days can cost you your driving privileges. Contact us immediately after an arrest.

Educational examples—not a sentence calculator. Consequences depend on applicable law, offense date, charges, prior history, and individual circumstances. This guide does not provide legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.

1

Check the scope first

Special circumstances can make a basic chart misleading.

The date identifies an issue for legal review. This draft does not validate historical law or confirm which statutory version applies.

Does any special circumstance apply?

Test refusal; a crash, injury, or property damage; a passenger under 18; driver under 21; commercial or school vehicle; ARD/diversion history; out-of-state or pending cases; prior DUI-related homicide; or additional charges.

2

Choose a charge category and history

Use the charge paperwork. Do not guess what legally counts as a prior.

Complete the scope questions to unlock the chart.

If a special circumstance applies or you are unsure, the guide will recommend individual review rather than assign a penalty.

3

Example consequences

General statutory examples—not a prediction of your case.

Complete steps 1 and 2 to see an example.

Your case is more than a chart.
