A Robinson Township DUI lawyer can defend you from any and all Pennsylvania DUI charges. At Wyland Law Group, we put up a strong defense because we believe that everyone should be treated with respect in the Robinson Township justice system. You should also have your questions answered honestly in this stressful time.

One of the questions you may have is what minimum penalties you’re facing. While we can work to reduce your penalties, even below the minimum, it may give you peace of mind to know what they are.

General Impairment – Tier One

You might be charged with general impairment if the government believes that you were operating in in physical control of the movement of a motor vehicle after imbibing a sufficient amount of alcohol such that the individual is rendered incapable of safe driving. The minimum penalties for this tier, assuming it is your first offense, are:

• No jail time or a maximum of 6 months of jail time
• No mandatory license suspension
• $300 fine

While these penalties don’t seem like much, you should defend yourself from them when you can. Penalties get higher on your second conviction, so it’s better to avoid the first.

High Rate DUI – Tier Two

You might be charged with a high rate DUI if you had a blood alcohol level of 0.10 to 0.159 percent, or a lower blood alcohol level during an accident. Assuming this is your first offense, the minimum penalties are:

• 2 days to 6 months in jail
• License suspension of an additional 12 months
• $500 to $5,000 fine

You should expect the judge to give you higher penalties if you caused an accident. However, depending on your specific circumstances, we can help you avoid even the license suspension.

Highest Rate DUI – Tier Three

You may be charged with the highest rate DUI if you had a blood alcohol level over 0.16 percent, refused a breathalyzer test, or were driving under the influence of controlled substances (drugs). Assuming this is your first offense, the minimum penalties for this charge are:

• 3 days to 6 months in jail
• License suspension of an additional 12 months
• $1,000 to $5,000

At this level, all of the penalties can have a significant effect on your life, from the jail time to license suspension and even the fines. However, you’re not out of options. Choose an experience Robinson Township DUI lawyer to guide and defend you!
