DUI Overview

Western Pennsylvania DUI Defense

If you or a loved one has recently been charged with drunk driving in western Pennsylvania, there are about a million and one good reasons to contact an experienced DUI defense attorney as soon as possible. At The Law Offices of Gary Gerson in Pittsburgh, we put decades of experience on the side of individuals who have been accused of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
 
Because each county has some flexibility in how it enforces the state's drunk-driving laws, however, it is also important to have an attorney who has successfully handled DUI cases in the county in which you've actually been charged. We have had success in and are familiar with court systems throughout the western half of Pennsylvania.

Minimizing the Consequences of a DUI Arrest

Many DUI, DWI and DAI cases can be effectively resolved through diversion programs. For example, through the accelerated rehabilitative disposition program (ARD), a first-time offender can earn a dismissal of charges, without serving jail time, with a minimal license suspension and with no conviction on their criminal record. There are even diversion programs available for second- and third-time offenders, including the Phoenix Court's expedited docket and DUI Court, either of which can mean dramatically less severe consequences for almost anyone accused of driving drunk.
 
As a Pennsylvania DUI defense lawyer with more than 20 years of experience, Gary Gerson knows what the programs are, which ones might be available to you and how to lobby the DA for the best option in your case.
 
When certain facts are present, there are also ways to win a case outright. We thoroughly analyze our DUI defense cases to assess whether officers had reasonable suspicion to initiate the traffic stop, whether field sobriety tests were administered correctly, and whether proper arrest and blood or breath alcohol testing procedures were followed. In many previous cases, our hard work has paid off in the form of case dismissals, dropped charges and acquittals at trial.
