Have a law-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • I have been arrested or believe I am about to be charged with a crime. What should I do?

    You have the right to remain silent. Do not speak to the police or anyone about your case. It's absolutely true that anything you say can and will be used against you.


    Contact the experienced criminal attorneys Wilkes Barre, PA trusts at the Law Office of James W. Barr immediately. The earlier you have an attorney working for you, the more legal defense options you will have. And you need to have that buffer between you and the government so that your case can move forward without you risking implicating yourself over and over. Anytime you speak about your case without your attorney present, you risk giving the government evidence it can use against you.

  • Can I get a work license after a DUI charge?

    Yes, PennDOT allows for an Occupational Limited License, or OLL. You must serve two months of your license suspension period before you are eligible for an OLL. Speak with our criminal attorneys in Wilkes Barre, PA today to learn more about DUI charges.

  • What is an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD)?

    Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition is a common plea agreement in first offense DUI cases and is a possible alternative to discuss with your criminal attorneys in Wilkes Barre, PA. License suspensions for accepting an ARD last for 30 days for a .10-.16 BAC and 60 days for a BAC of .16 and above.

  • If I am arrested on a drunk driving charge in Pennsylvania, should I agree to perform the field sobriety tests?

    With regard to the field sobriety tests -- such as touching your nose, standing on one foot, or walking a straight line -- our criminal attorneys in Wilkes Barre, PA advise you to refuse these tests. Refusing to perform field tests can't be used against you in court but the results of the test can.

  • If I am arrested on a drunk driving charge in Pennsylvania, should I agree to take the breath test?

    Refusing the breath test will get you an immediate 1-year suspension of your driver's license and the refusal can be used against you in court. As the criminal attorneys Wilkes Barre, PA relies on, we typically advise agreeing to the breath test as refusing it can cause more problems.
