Where will my Camp Hill DUI hearing be held?

The preliminary hearing is at the Camp Hill-area Cumberland County MDJ (District 09-1-01). If your case proceeds past the prelim, it moves to the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas in Carlisle. We're at both locations regularly.

Is your office in Camp Hill?

Yes — 3425 Simpson Ferry Road, Suite 100, Camp Hill, PA 17011. Walk-in proximity for Camp Hill, Lemoyne, New Cumberland, and Wormleysburg clients.

What are the penalties for a first-offense DUI in Pennsylvania?

First-offense penalties depend on your BAC. General Impairment (.08–.099) is up to 6 months probation, $300 fine, and no license suspension. High BAC (.10–.159) adds a 12-month suspension and 48 hours minimum jail. Highest BAC (.16+), refusals, and controlled-substance DUIs trigger 72 hours minimum jail, a 12-month suspension, and fines up to $5,000. Ignition interlock is required on most suspensions.

Am I eligible for ARD on a first DUI?

Most first-time offenders qualify for Pennsylvania's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program — no conviction, shorter suspension, and expungement after completion. You may be disqualified if a child was in the vehicle, there was a serious-injury accident, or you have certain priors. Under Act 58 of 2025, a prior ARD within 10 years now counts as a prior offense.

What happens if I refused the breathalyzer or blood test?

Pennsylvania's implied consent law triggers an automatic 12-month PennDOT license suspension for refusing chemical testing — separate from the criminal DUI and applied even if you're acquitted. The refusal and the underlying DUI are challenged separately and often have different defenses.

How much does a DUI lawyer cost?

We charge flat fees that depend on case complexity — standard first-offense cases run a few thousand dollars; cases with accidents, refusals, suppression hearings, or trial cost more. Consultations are free and fees are discussed up front. For most clients, the cost is offset by avoiding a suspension, jail time, or a permanent criminal record.

Why Camp Hill DUI cases are different.

Camp Hill sits at the heart of the West Shore and the busiest DUI corridor in Cumberland County — Route 15, the Carlisle Pike, Market Street, and the on-ramps to the Harvey Taylor and M. Harvey Taylor bridges generate a steady stream of stops by Camp Hill Borough Police and PA State Police Troop H.

Stops cluster along the Carlisle Pike after restaurants and bars close, on Route 15 northbound near the bridge, and around the Camp Hill Mall and Cedar Cliff High School zones. Camp Hill PD also coordinates with State Police on multi-agency DUI patrols.
