Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

This will be considered a second offense. You must go ten years without getting a DUI for a new DUI to be considered a first offense again, even if you did the ARD program for the first one.

I would highly suggest that you retain an attorney right away. A second offense with a BAC carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 90 days. An attorney can see if there are any surpression issues, or take the case to trial if you have a valid defense, or if a guilty plea is the best choice, your attorney may be able to argue for house arrest or work release instead of incarceration.

If you are in the central PA area, please feel free to contact my office.
