Second DUI Dismissed, Probation on Third

A client with two back-to-back DUIs in Chester County faced a minimum of one year in jail and a lengthy license suspension. Attorney Skinner successfully had the second DUI dismissed because the DA did not file within the year deadline.

From there, Skinner had the third DUI reduced to a low-tier offense because his client did not realize that refusing a chemical test resulted in a harsher sentence. Attorney Skinner argued that the client’s former ARD status did not qualify as a prior. In the end, the client had three DUI charges reduced to a single offense and received probation.
