Company description
When you need to fight a drunk driving charge, an experienced West Chester DUI attorney has a number of ways to defend you. One line of defense that Mr. Kellis has in his legal arsenal is to contest the results of a breath, blood, or urine test administered by law enforcement. This is because the breathalyzers used to determine your blood alcohol level are sometimes faulty and can mistake many compounds on the breath as alcohol, as well as render inaccurate readings. Also, when you take a blood or urine test, it’s not uncommon for the results to be inaccurate because of a number of factors, not the least of which are strict guidelines that officers must follow and document. A West Chester DUI attorney can use these factors to your advantage and in some cases, the results may be thrown out.
Mr. Kellis may also argue to get the charges in your case dropped or lowered. This can make a significant difference in your life because the penalties for DUI in Pennsylvania can range from six months of probation to five years in prison, depending on the circumstances of your case. In addition, drivers charged with DUI may face fines of up to $10,000 and have their driver’s license suspended for up to 18 months.
Mr. Kellis can also plea bargain with the prosecutor to decrease the amount of punishment you receive by admitting guilt to a lesser charge, which may simply be a minor moving violation.
