DUI Defense Lawyers in Philadelphia, PA

A DUI arrest can move fast—license issues, court dates, and high-stakes decisions about testing, statements, and next steps. At Crouthamel Law, our defense attorneys represent people charged with DUI in Philadelphia by attacking the evidence early and building a plan focused on protecting your record and your ability to drive.

Philadelphia DUI Charges We Defend

  • DUI—general impairment, high BAC, and highest BAC tiers
  • Drug-related DUI (prescription, OTC, or illegal substances)
  • DUI involving accidents or alleged injuries
  • Repeat DUI allegations and grading enhancements
  • Refusal-related cases and administrative license consequences
  • Underage DUI and commercial driver concerns (where applicable)

How Pennsylvania’s DUI Tiers Can Shape Your Case

Pennsylvania’s DUI framework distinguishes levels of impairment, including defined BAC tiers for alcohol cases. Grading and potential penalties can vary based on allegations, including BAC tier, prior history, and whether the Commonwealth claims an accident or other aggravating circumstances.

Key places we look for defenses:

  • The traffic stop: Was there lawful cause to stop you?
  • Field sobriety tests: Conditions, instructions, medical issues, and officer bias
  • Chemical testing: Collection, handling, timing, and reliability (blood/breath)
  • Statements: Whether your words were taken out of context
  • Video evidence: Body cam, dash cam, surveillance footage, and timeline gaps

ARD and Diversion—When It’s Available

In many counties, prosecutors may consider eligible defendants for ARD in DUI cases under the Vehicle Code. Whether ARD is available depends on the facts of the arrest and your history—so it’s important to evaluate that option alongside suppression motions and charge-reduction strategies.
