Pennsylvania Arrest and Release

Drivers accused of a Pennsylvania DUI / DAI are either released on their own recognizance, or are required to post bail. The Pennsylvania DUI defense attorneys at Levow & Associates can assist you with the bail process in your PA DUI case.

The police will keep the arrested driver in custody for a number of hours to ensure sobriety and protect the Commonwealth from liability.

Bail is essentially a deposit designed to ensure that you will appear in court to face criminal charges.

If you must post bail after a Pennsylvania DUI arrest, which is possible even in a misdemeanor case, you might need the help of a bail bond company. Bail bondsmen typically require an up-front, non-refundable deposit of 10 percent of the bail amount in order to post bond.

Bail will always be required in felony Pennsylvania DUI cases. The bail amount will be taken from a schedule and will depend on the facts of the case. For example, if there was an injury or death involved, the bail amount will be much higher.

Getting arrested for a Pennsylvania DUI can be a confusing and overwhelming experience, so you need a skilled attorney and law firm on your side to help you navigate the criminal justice system.
