If you’re anything like these happy clients, your Pennsyvania DUI arrest has you worried. You’re concerned about jail time, what’s going to happen with your job, and how much you’re going to pay financially.
I'll be honest with you: you have valid concerns. Pennsylvania DUI convictions carry major consequences. A first time conviction could cost you up to $5000 in fines and penalty assessments.

- Increased automobile insurance premiums.
- $1000 fine if you’re caught driving on a suspended license.

Besides financial consequences and jail time, there are other ways a Pennsylvania DUI conviction could affect you, including:
- Having your driver’s license suspended.
- Mandatory Alcohol Highway Safety School.
- Up to 150 hours of community service.
