Pennsylvania DUI Lawyer
Have You or a Loved One Been Charged with a DUI and Possibly Other Crimes?
If so, you will need a lawyer to represent you through the criminal process. There are many lawyers that advertise for DUI defense. Before selecting your lawyer, you should evaluate his or her background and experience in the area of DUI. You should ask questions such as:
- How many DUI cases have you litigated?
- How often do you take cases to trial?
- What is your winning percentage in trial?
- Have you ever worked in the district attorney’s office or public defender’s office?
Hire a Former DUI Prosecutor
My name is Jason Antoine and I am a former Assistant District Attorney and former DUI Prosecutor. While serving as an Assistant District Attorney in DUI Court, I prosecuted hundreds of DUI cases and had over a 99% conviction rate.* I worked alongside talented DUI prosecutors and faced seasoned criminal defense lawyers day in and day out. This was invaluable experience. I use this knowledge in my practice every day and believe it allows me to outthink the prosecution and obtain results for my clients.
Don’t Let a DUI Conviction Ruin Your Life!
I learned quickly that a DUI conviction can be devastating for people from all walks of life. DUI law is unique because a DUI conviction can happen to anybody, not just hardened criminals. The number one question I get asked by friends and family is “how do you represent those criminals when you know they are guilty.” My reply usually is as follows “I love my job. I usually represent good people that made a mistake. It is my job to keep that mistake from ruining the rest of their lives and career.”
The penalties for a DUI in Pennsylvania are severe and may include:
- Fines, court costs and restitution into the thousands of dollars
- Suspension of driver’s license, installation of ignition interlock device at your expense
- Probation, electronic monitoring, etc. at your expense
- Significant jail time
If selected as your attorney, I would do everything in my power to beat your DUI case or have the charges reduced. I take pride in my reputation and care about what happens to my clients. I do not like pleading my clients guilty and keeping their fees. At the end of the day I want to know that I left no stone unturned and looked at every angle possible. My office has represented a range of clients in DUI cases from corporate executives to single moms and college students. My goal is to provide thorough, meticulous and zealous representation in every DUI case.
