The State's Burden of Proof
If this is your first offense, you are understandably frightened and perhaps ashamed. Whether or not you were drinking before you operated a motor vehicle in Pennsylvania, remember that the state has the burden of proof as to your level of intoxication. Prosecutors must demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that your blood alcohol level was high enough to justify conviction for driving under the influence.
Improper Traffic Stop?
In some cases, Attorney Sere and his clients have fought law enforcement's allegations by showing that police stopped suspects without sufficient probable cause. Through motions to suppress evidence that was obtained in an unlawful matter, Mr. Sere has obtained dismissals in many cases.
First-Time Offenders
In other situations where a traffic stop was justified, Attorney Sere has helped protect first-time offenders from potential criminal records by negotiating alternative penalties. These include participation in an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. By fulfilling the requirements of the ARD for an entire year, alleged DUI offenders avoid a criminal record.
Occupational Driver's License
Repeat offenses are more problematic, but these situations are not hopeless when highly motivated individuals join forces with an experienced DUI/DWI defense lawyer. Even in a tough state like Pennsylvania, there are options such as an occupational driver's license and a rehabilitation program which show prosecutors and judges that someone who was driving under the influence of alcohol is making a sincere effort to resolve chemical abuse problems and to prevent further infractions.
Prevent Jail Time and Damage to Your Career
Make no mistake - a DUI arrest is a serious matter. You could face jail time if you are convicted. Your job (such as being a truck driver) or professional license (such as your license to practice law) may be at risk. DUI defense lawyer George M. Sere works to ensure that his clients' legal rights are protected at every step of a DUI/DWI case and they obtain the most favorable outcome attainable.
