Charged With Drunk Driving (DUI)? Let Us Step In And Defend Your Rights. When a couple of drinks turn into one too many, making the choice to get behind the wheel can end with some pretty serious consequences. If you were pulled over and arrested for drunk driving (DUI) in Fayette County or elsewhere in Southwestern Pennsylvania, it’s in your best interests to obtain a lawyer to help protect your rights. We Lay Out All Your Options When Fighting A DUI Charge At Goodwin Como, P.C., our attorneys combine years of experience handling DUI and other criminal defense matters throughout Pennsylvania. Whether this if your first time being arrested for DUI or you have faced charges in the past, we encourage you to get in touch with us as soon as possible. As your representatives, we can step in, make sure you are being treated fairly by the authorities, ensure you understand your rights and properly assert those rights, all while investigating the circumstances of your case. The authorities will make it seem like you have zero options for contesting the charges, but the fact is that there are numerous factors that can skew the results of a breath test or field sobriety test. Furthermore, if the police lacked probable cause to pull you over or otherwise violated your rights during the course of your interaction, we can bring attention to those issues and potentially achieve a dismissal of your case. We know the local courts, the authorities and others who will be involved in your cases. We will negotiate with the prosecutor for a reduction of the charges, discuss opportunities for diversionary programs, take steps to protect your driving privileges, and if necessary, build a strong defense strategy for trial. Don’t assume that a DUI charge is no big deal. An arrest can follow you for years, compromise job opportunities, cause you to lose your CDL license, result in the suspension of your driver’s license, impact an ongoing divorce, and generally make life much more difficult.
