DUI Defense Attorneys in Erie, Pennsylvania
Despite the efforts of law enforcement and an increase in public awareness about the dangers of drinking and then driving — people still decide to drive after they've been drinking. In Pennsylvania, the story is no different. In fact, Pennsylvania state police charged a record number of people (more than 16,000 total) with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in 2008.
Some of those people made a second mistake. They waited too long to contact an experienced DUI defense attorney after their arrest or they didn't hire legal counsel at all. Don't make that mistake yourself.
No one is immune from making poor decisions. If you or someone close to you has made one that involved alcohol consumption and getting behind the wheel of a car — there may be serious legal consequences. Talk to an experienced DUI defense lawyer about your rights and options today by calling or contacting Rohde & Jennings for a free consultation.
Helping You Avoid the Most Serious DUI Penalties
At Rohde & Jennings, we provide effective DUI defense representation to people in Erie and the surrounding portions of northwestern Pennsylvania.
In every DUI case, we first take a look at whether or not there are any real and viable defenses we may be able to assert. In many cases, there are. If we feel that there are and you agree, we will not hesitate to take your case into the courtroom or to make the state meet its burden of proof.
If you've never been convicted of DUI, there are many things we may be able to do to minimize or help you avoid serious consequences altogether. If you are a repeat DUI offender or the current charges stem from an injury-causing drunk driving accident — there are still things that can be done but you need to hire a defense attorney as soon as possible. You can depend on us to be honest with you, even if the potential penalties are severe and your defense options very limited.
Schedule a free consultation by calling our law offices at 814-806-1171 or 888-524-2612 (toll free). You can also send us an e-mail at any time, day or night, and it will be forwarded directly to our Blackberries.
