PENNSYLVANIA THIRD OFFENSE DUI LAWS

If you already have two DUI convictions on your record, you already know that a Third Offense DUI in Pennsylvania is a very serious matter. In addition to severe fines, increased jail time, and the automatic loss of license for at least a year, you will receive a guaranteed misdemeanor conviction on your permanent, public criminal record. But hope is not lost. You can fight back.

When selecting which attorney to hire, please consider:

Can you call anytime and talk to a live person?
Do they offer payment plans with no credit checks?
Will your attorney be attentive and explain what’s going on?
