A Pennsylvania client faced a mandatory 90 days in jail and an 18-month license suspension after a second DUI charge.

Not having access to public transportation nearby as a rural resident, the man knew losing his license would cause significant obstacles. Pennsylvania criminal defense attorney Michael Skinner filed a motion challenging the client’s arrest. Using evidence of the client’s performance in the sobriety field test, Skinner successfully argued his case. The judge dismissed the DUI charge, and the client was saved from jail time and felt relieved to keep his license.
