Drunk Driving & Traffic Violations

Mark F. Walmer defends Driving Under the Influence Cases

Lancaster County DUI/ DAI Defense Attorney ◦ Traffic Violations

Drunk driving is taken very seriously by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. According to the 2004 DUI / DAI law passed by the Pennsylvania State Legislature, drivers charged with "driving after imbibing" (DAI) are penalized by the amount of alcohol in the blood.

Contact Walmer Law Offices, LLC (now Timoney Knox, LLP), in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to schedule a consultation if you have been charged with drunk driving.

A first-time drunk driving offender may qualify for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program and avoid jail time if the driver: had a valid driver's license and auto insurance, and did not have a passenger under age 14 in the car and did not have a bad accident. Others convicted of DUI / DAI offenses can face mandatory jail time. DUI/DAI cases require knowledgeable, aggressive defense in order to attain the most favorable outcome.

The ARD program is a long and complicated process that needs to be navigated properly. Attorney Mark Walmer is experienced in helping to ensure that DUI / DAI defendants' rights are protected at every juncture, and that a first-time offender will proceed through the ARD program as quickly and painlessly as possible.
