Your license is at stake!

Every state has some sort of “drunk driving” statute. The term “drunk driving” is in quotes because none of these laws require that you be “drunk” or “intoxicated” to be guilty. All that is required is that your ability to operate a vehicle has been impaired to any extent at all or that your Blood alcohol level exceeds the state limit (which is now .08% in all states). Some states call it DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), but it refers to the same offense. The consequences of DUI differ drastically from state to state and are influenced by your age, blood alcohol limit (BAC), whether you're a resident of Lancaster or Lancaster County, PA that has been arrested for DUI in the past, and whether you caused injury or death during the DUI.

DUI Lawyer Carrucoli & Associates in Lancaster, PA can help…

Assess your legal situation. An experienced Pennsylvania DUI Defense Attorney can help you understand what you are up against and the fines you may be required to pay. A DUI attorney mostly deals with DUI matters for residents and/or university students and knows the process inside and out – including options that a public defender may not tell you. In addition, we offer a free consultation – which may be worthwhile if you don’t understand the process.

Explain the consequences. The consequences of a DUI vary greatly from state to state and an attorney Carrucoli & Associates, in Lancaster, PA will be able to explain how those consequences in Pennsylvania apply to you such as (1) harsher punishments for those arrested with BAC limits over .08 , (2) special laws for underage drivers arrested for DUI, (3) possible community service or plea bargaining, (4) overlapping jurisdiction of Courts and Pennsylvania's Motor Vehicle licensing department to suspend or revoke your license, and (5) contingent license programs that allow you to use your vehicle to get to and from work or to the University.

Manage the process. Dealing with Pennsylvania's motor vehicle department can be frustrating and time consuming residents of Lancaster and/or Lancaster County.
