Pulled Over for Drunk Driving With a Child in the Car? Pennsylvania DUI Penalties Defense Attorney
Judges, prosecutors and the public look severely on people arrested for drunk driving with a child under the age of 14 in the car. Prosecutors are more inclined to seek longer prison sentences in cases like these. And if you were arrested with a child in the car, even if it is the first time you have ever been arrested, you will not be eligible to have your sentence diverted through the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program that is often available to others who have been arrested on a first-time DUI charge.
Because of the sentiment against DUI with a child in the car, it is extremely important to retain an attorney who is experienced and has a proven track record of successfully defending clients accused of DUI. My name is Henry Hilles, and I am a former Montgomery County prosecutor who now works only for the defense of clients accused of crimes. As a criminal defense and DUI defense attorney, I know the criminal justice system from the inside out, and I use that insider's perspective to build strong defenses for my clients.
You Are More Than Just a DUI Case File
In cases involving DUI with a child in the car, it is important for a person to have an advocate who can engage in a dialogue with the prosecutor and with the judge, so that they understand that the accused person is not a criminal, but a good person with positive qualities who just made a mistake. The mistake is not indicative of the person's character or of the person's parenting abilities. I will take the time to get to know you and gain an understanding of the whole of your life, not just the point in time at which you were arrested.
You will benefit by having a skilled, professional lawyer who prosecutors have faced before, and a lawyer who has a reputation for being honest, trustworthy and effective.
In DUI cases like these, especially if the evidence against you is strong, negotiating an acceptable plea agreement may help you put this incident in the past and move forward. It is important that your lawyer have a strong command of the facts and the law to be able to negotiate from the greatest position of strength and get the best possible result.
