The Law Offices of Black & Older

Pennsylvania DUI Lawyers and Criminal Defense Attorneys

A conviction for DUI could result in jail time, loss of your license, required counseling, and expensive fines. Before you are arraigned on the charges against you, a preliminary hearing is held to determine whether your arrest was lawful.

At Black & Older, our DUI attorneys  use preliminary hearings to question police conduct, challenge the calibration of the breathalyzer used, and determine if probable cause existed to pull you over. Additionally, we request that an independent lab test any drawn blood samples to determine if the results are lower than the level claimed by the state. When guilt is not an issue, we work with the court to either reduce the charges against you or explore alternatives to jail time or loss of your license.

Challenging DUI Charges

Despite what many people might think, breathalyzers are not always accurate. Like any other machine, they must be regularly maintained and serviced. Our DUI defense attorneys request a copy of the police video of your arrest, police report, and maintenance records on the breathalyzer used in your arrest. Our breathalyzer experts can determine if the machine in question was improperly calibrated, if it has a history of maintenance problems, and whether the arresting office administered the test correctly.

While each case is different, the preliminary hearing provides an opportunity to introduce evidence calling into question the reliability of breathalyzer results and police conduct. As your criminal defense lawyers, we fight for the best outcome possible for our clients.
