WELCOME TO THE LAW OFFICES OF

V. ERIK PETERSEN

If you have been charged with a crime or a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) my years of experience and my promise to outwork the prosecution will guarantee the best possible result for you. Whether you need a jury trial or a negotiated guilty plea I have the experience and skills to get the outcome that you need to move forward with your life.

Many individuals charged with minor crimes including DUI are eligible for a first-time offender program known as ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition). This program avoids all jail time, significantly reduces any applicable license suspension for DUI offenses and gives you the ability to maintain a clean criminal record.

House Arrest is often an option as way to avoid the mandatory jailtime associated with second and subsequent DUI charges. Going to trial and fighting for your innocence is also always an option. I have handled many cases through trial with great success.

EXCITING NEWS!!!! A new Pennsylvania Law now allows most DUI offenders to obtain an Ignition Interlock License. This new law will allow many DUI offenders to drive as long as they qualify and comply with the ignition interlock protocol. I have helped many clients obtain their Ignition Interlock License.
