Domestic Violence Defense for Arab families in Pittsburgh
Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas and Pittsburgh Municipal Court handle criminal matters. Pennsylvania DUI law has a tiered system—general impairment (0.08-0.099%), high rate (0.10-0.159%), and highest rate (0.16%+)—with escalating penalties. For Arab non-citizens at Pittsburgh's universities and tech companies, criminal convictions can jeopardize student visas, H-1B status, and green card applications. Pennsylvania's ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition) program offers first-time offenders an alternative.

Client review
“First DUI in twenty-two years of driving. Blew a .09, barely over. My attorney got me into ARD, which is Pennsylvania's first-offender program. After completing it, the charge gets expunged. No permanent record. He knew the local judges and exactly what to expect.”

Client review
“I was accused of stealing from my employer. Turned out there was a camera issue and another employee was responsible. My lawyer demanded the full security footage, which the employer was reluctant to provide. Once it came out, all charges were dropped and the real thief was fired.”

Client review
“A customer at my food truck accused me of pushing him. He was being aggressive and blocking my service window. Police charged me based on his story alone. My lawyer got statements from five customers who witnessed the whole thing. All charges dropped at the preliminary hearing.”
