Charged with a DUI in Pennsylvania? Know Your Rights—And Fight Back

Louise Hairston July 2, 2025 2 minutes read
Charged with a DUI in Pennsylvania

Facing a DUI or DWI charge in Pennsylvania is no small matter. It’s not just about fines or points on your license. A DUI conviction can lead to jail time, loss of your driver’s license, long-term probation, high court costs, and even the loss of employment. The stakes are even higher if you’ve had a prior DUI, or if the incident involved an accident or injury.

At The Law Office of Kathryn Roberts, we know how overwhelming and confusing the process can feel. That’s why we’re here to guide you from day one—and fight hard to protect your rights at every stage of your DUI case.

What the State Must Prove

In Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You don’t have to prove anything—the burden lies with the District Attorney and the police. To convict you of DUI, they must show that you were in control of a vehicle and under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both, to the extent that your driving was impaired.

Even if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was below 0.08%, or you refused testing, you could still face serious consequences. But the good news is—there are legal defenses, and an experienced DUI attorney knows how to find them.

You Have Legal Options

With a skilled defense lawyer, you may be able to challenge the legality of the traffic stop, the validity of field sobriety tests, or even suppress key evidence. You can also negotiate for lesser charges, alternative sentencing, or fight your case in front of a jury.

Attorney Kathryn Roberts has over 25 years of experience handling DUI cases, with over 116 jury trials to verdict. She’s not only a seasoned trial attorney but also an educator in criminal law—someone who knows how to argue the law and explain it clearly to juries.

Don’t Wait. Get Help Now.

Every DUI case begins with a preliminary hearing and moves fast through the courts. Don’t risk losing your rights by going it alone. Call Attorney Kathryn Roberts today at 484-695-7023 or visit www.allentowncriminallaw.com to schedule a confidential consultation.
