Understanding DUI Charges in Connecticut
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a significant offense in Pennsylvania, involving the operation of a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or both. Pennsylvania law imposes strict penalties for DUI convictions, including substantial fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and potential jail time. Beyond legal consequences, a DUI conviction can have long-lasting effects on your personal and professional life.

Do you need a DUI Lawyer?
Every state has some sort of “driving while intoxicated” statute. The term “driving while intoxicated” is in quotes because none of these laws require that you be “drunk” or “intoxicated” to be guilty. All that is required is that your ability to operate a vehicle has been impaired to any extent at all or that your Blood alcohol level exceeds the state limit (which is now .08% in all states).
a DUI Lawyer can help. . . .
Assess your legal situation
An experienced DUI Defense lawyer can help you understand what you are up against and the fines you may be required to pay. A DUI lawyer mostly deals with DUI matters and knows the process inside and out – including options that a public defender may not tell you.
Explain the Consequences
The consequences of a DUI vary greatly from state to state and a DUI lawyer will be able to explain how those consequences in your state apply to you such as (1) harsher punishments for those arrested with BAC limits over .08, (2) special laws for underage drivers arrested for DWI , (3) possible community service or plea bargaining, (4) overlapping jurisdiction of Courts and your state’s motor vehicle licensing department to suspend or revoke your license, and (5) contingent license programs that allow you to use your vehicle to get to and from work.
Manage the process
Dealing with the motor vehicle department can be frustrating and time consuming. A DUI Lawyer can manage the process for you by completing the required forms; making phone calls; scheduling and/or representing you at a Motor Vehicle Department suspension hearing, and making other necessary arrangements.
Represent you in court
In the States witnesses are knowledgeable in the courtroom and know exactly what to say and not say during examination. A criminal lawyer also knows the ends-and -outs of the courtroom and will be able to cross-examine government witnesses regarding facts and evidence that work in the defendants favor.
Don't Know if a DUI Lawyer is right for you? Here are some General Guidelines:
DEFINITELY
Definitely hire a DUI Lawyer if you already have several DUI and receive another; or if your DUI arrest was the result of an accident or if anyone was injured; or if you are a professional driver whose livelihood depends on keeping your license.
PROBABLY
Seriously consider hiring a DUI Lawyer if you’ve been arrested for a second DUI (in the same or another state) or were arrested with a BAC limit over double the legal limit as harsher penalties may apply.
MAYBE
You might want to hire a DUI Lawyer in Pennsylvania if you don’t understand your rights or DUI laws, what you need to do, or the consequences you face. You also might want legal representation if you are in a profession (or plan to be) that requires bonding or in which any criminal conviction might prevent you from getting or keeping a professional license. If you don’t know the requirements, then you need expert advice before handling the case yourself.
Ellis Klien is THE attorney to call if you need help with a traffic violation. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the whole process, and reassured me that he could help me out with my situation. I am so grateful for his help representing me in court – Ellis was able to get my citation reduced so I wouldn’t have points on my license. I highly recommend Ellis; he’s truly the best around, hands down!
Where do I start!! I needed a criminal lawyer for a mess I had gotten into to…What Ellis did for me is no less than a miracle!! He seriously got a verdict for me that was virtually IMPOSSIBLE !!!

I couldn’t be happier with the excellent support and representation provided by Ellis Klein. He guided me through the whole process of going to court for a traffic citation. He was always available and took the time to explain the process so I knew what to expect. We had a very favorable outcome thanks to his expertise.
Ellis remained professional throughout my whole legal process. He was transparent and made the next steps clear-cut every step of the way. I was fortunate enough to have multiple misdemeanors dropped to a disorderly conduct ticket. I am very grateful for Ellis and his preparation in helping me move on with my life. I would recommend his services to anybody who is in need of honest, effective representation. Thank you Ellis
I received a DUI and felt the charges were ludicrous. I started getting mail advertisements for attorneys and began researching. Ellis has a great track history and even knew someone in common with me. He took my case seriously, he or his team communicated frequently, and most importantly kept me calm. He knows the system, and is well respected within it.
