My hard earned personal and professional experiences have made me a fiercely competitive, yet calm, calculated and practical attorney. I understand there are many nuances involved in effectively defending your case. There are and will be times when we will fight the other side through litigation. There are and will be times when your interests are best served by careful and timely negotiation.
It should come as a little surprise the charge of DUI in Erie PA is impacting especially given that Driving Under the Influence represents the misdemeanor offense individuals are most likely to face at some point in their lifetime. Even the most law abiding and upstanding members of this community can, depending in some instances on circumstances beyond their control, be put in a position where they will be charged with DUI.
This dynamic in and of itself can significantly increase your risk of receiving a sentence of incarceration. Your prior record is the other big factor when making an initial determination of the likely outcome in your case. Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) is available to Defendants with minimal or no prior record.
There are a variety of different charges one can receive when charged with Driving Under the Influence by law enforcement. And, in most instances you won't just be charged with one offense. Most of the time you will be charged with two and in some instances as many as four different DUI offenses in Erie PA.
DUI offenders in Pennsylvania may be eligible for the ARD Program. The Pennsylvania ARD Program provides first-time and repeat offenders with a chance to avoid DUI conviction on their permanent record. ARD stands for "Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition" - It is a pre-trial diversion program required by the State of Pennsylvania to promptly dispose of all charges for DUI offenders, as long as the conditions are met.

Justin Panighetti Helped me get out of a very difficult situation and I came out on top! He is well worth looking into for help! He was always in contact with me, even when I didn’t contact him directly! I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking legal counsel!! Also, I would hire him again in a minute, he’s definitely above the rest! If I could give him 10 stars I would! Absolutely a caring, compassionate individual with his clients!

I had Justin Panagetti as an attorney in Erie PA he’s a standup guy he will never tell you he can do some that he can’t if he tells you that he can get something done he does just what he says he’s very affordable very reasonable and outgoing I had him as an attorney for over two years and he’s never steer me in the wrong direction and just like the past review if I can give him 10 stars are higher I would so if you ever in life need a good attorney then Justin would be it and I wouldn’t pick no one different over the mini years that I had him as an attorney he became a part of my family

My friend told me about Mr. Panighetti after he used him and I needed an attorney. He was very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Extremely responsive when it comes to calls or texting with any questions. Easy to talk too and makes everything as simple as he can.

I found Justin based off his Google reviews, and each one describes him and his services accurately. I am actually surprised he has 4.9 stars instead of a perfect 5. Justin was attentive and responsive throughout the entirety of my case and made me feel like it was his top priority. Justin did everything within his power to get me the best outcome possible, and he delivered. He was open and honest with me during every difficult discussion we had. I will refer anyone seeking legal advice, regardless of situation, to seek Justin Panighetti first. He will work tirelessly to ensure you get a favorable

I have had Mr. Panighetti represent me on two separate occasions. I am extremely pleased with his work, dedication to me, and his professionalism. Both times he was outstanding! Mr. Panighetti always retuned my phone calls in a timely manner and was able to answer any question I had. All around he is personable and easy to talk to. Genuinely, this is a man I trust. Thanks to him and his work I am able to sleep easier at night. I recommend him to all family and friends.

Justin gives it straight and doesn't sugar coat anything. He was my second attorney after firing my first one and wish I would of called him first. Every time I talked with him I felt better each time about my situation and did the same for my family. He is someone who cares, does not judge, and knows what he is doing. Like I said I wish I would of called him first. I recommend that he should be the first one anyone should call and he will be the only attorney I ever call.

Justin Panighetti is exactly what you are looking for in a criminal defense lawyer. He was on point with my case every step of the way. He fought for me as if we were family. He also kept me up to date and informed on all aspects of my case as well as made me aware of all of the possible outcomes and the different avenues pertaining to my case. I am very satisfied with my experience and highly recommend you consider his firm. I will hopefully never have to be in need of a criminal defense lawyer again but if I am he will be my first and only call.

Justin was such a wonderful to reminder that some legal representatives actually do care about the people they represent. He was always checking in with me, and reassuring me about everything taking place. He helped me get through it, more than just speaking on my behalf. But beyond that, he is very professional, and makes sure he puts a lot of work and focus on the case in front of him. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
