If you have been charged with or are being investigated for a crime in the Paoli, Pennsylvania region, then you need an experienced and aggressive former Chester County district attorney to represent you.

Defending Paoli DUI Cases

If you are charged with DUI in Paoli, Pennsylvania, make sure that you hire an experienced Paoli DUI attorney to represent you. To be found guilty of DUI, the government must prove that you were driving on a road with a blood alcohol content (BAC) over .08 percent or that you were incapable of safely driving a motor vehicle. The most common defenses against DUI charges include:

  1. Challenging the basis that the police had to stop the vehicle
  2. Challenging the results of the field sobriety tests
  3. Challenging the admissibility of the BAC results obtained from the defendant by arguing that the police did not have probable cause to obtain the defendant’s blood
  4. Challenging the government’s position that the defendant was operating a motor vehicle on a road while intoxicated. Instead, the defendant may have been found in a driveway or a parking lot.

Evan Kelly is a former Chester County assistant district attorney and was invited to join the prestigious American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys. He is well-suited to raise all of these applicable defenses and to aggressively challenge the government’s position.
