Background
Two decades in Central PA courtrooms.
Sean P. Quinlan has spent more than 25 years representing Pennsylvanians at the worst moment of their year — a DUI arrest on the way home, a citation that threatens a commercial license, a criminal charge that follows a background check for the next decade.
He is a graduate of Bloomsburg University and Widener University School of Law, admitted in Pennsylvania under bar number 86858, and an active member of the National College for DUI Defense, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, and the Cumberland and Dauphin County Bar Associations.
From the Camp Hill office he appears in magisterial district courts, Courts of Common Pleas, and PennDOT hearings across Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Perry, and York counties. Knowing how a specific judge, district attorney, and ARD office actually handle a file is often worth more than anything written in a brochure.
Every case is handled by Attorney Quinlan personally — the attorney you speak with on the first call is the attorney who stands beside you in court.

Questions about working with Attorney Quinlan
Sean P. Quinlan, Esq. is a Pennsylvania defense attorney based in Camp Hill (PA Bar #86858) with more than 25 years of experience handling DUI, criminal, and traffic matters in Central Pennsylvania.

DUI and refusal cases under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802, ARD admission and expungement, misdemeanor and felony criminal charges (drug, assault, theft, firearms, domestic-violence-related charges), traffic citations and CDL matters, license suspension and PennDOT hearings, and expungement and governor's pardon applications.

Yes. Clients speak with Attorney Quinlan from the first call through resolution. Cases are not handed off to paralegals or junior associates.
Call (717) 724-7503 or submit the consultation form on this page. The office is at 3425 Simpson Ferry Rd, Suite 100, Camp Hill, PA 17011, open Monday through Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm, with after-hours calls returned. Initial consultations are free and confidential, and recent arrests or imminent hearings are prioritized.
Fees depend on the charge, the county, and whether the case resolves at the preliminary hearing, through a diversionary program like ARD, or at trial. Attorney Quinlan quotes a flat fee for most DUI, traffic, and misdemeanor matters after the free consultation, so you know the cost before you hire. There is no charge for the initial consultation.
Write down everything you remember about the stop while it is fresh, preserve any paperwork you were given, and do not discuss the case with anyone other than a lawyer. Watch for a preliminary hearing notice and any PennDOT correspondence, and call before you make statements or accept an offer. Blood and breath results and the legality of the stop are often contestable.
A summary traffic citation is often resolved in one magisterial district court appearance within a few weeks. A DUI or misdemeanor case typically runs three to nine months from the preliminary hearing through disposition, depending on the county. ARD admission timelines vary by district attorney's office, and license consequences can begin separately through PennDOT.
Sometimes not. For many summary traffic matters, counsel can appear on your behalf. DUI and criminal cases usually require your presence at key proceedings, though hearings can often be scheduled to limit the number of trips to Pennsylvania. Out-of-state drivers cited in Pennsylvania also face home-state license consequences, which is reviewed as part of the case.
Not before someone reviews the file. A guilty plea to a DUI, a serious traffic offense, or a theft charge carries consequences that outlast the fine — points, suspension, ignition interlock, insurance, employment and CDL exposure, and a record that shows on background checks. Many cases have available defenses, reduction paths, or diversionary options that are lost once a plea is entered.
Yes. Communications made to seek legal advice are protected regardless of whether you ultimately hire the firm, and the consultation is free with no obligation.
