If a person gets arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Pennsylvania, it doesn't necessarily mean that a conviction will occur. Before that can be determined, an entire adjudication process must take place, which includes the defendant's guaranteed right to dispute the charges in court. The Pennsylvania Senate recently advanced a bill to the House that will increase penalties for repeat drunk driving offenders.

Are you facing charges for reckless driving?
Driving may be one of your passions. Ever since you were young you likely could not wait to get your driver's license, and once you reached that milestone, you may have stayed behind the wheel as often as possible.
