YOU DESERVE A TEAM WHO WON'T GIVE UP

Fleeing & eluding charges are serious but can be challenged. A fleeing & eluding attorney from Pennsylvania can help you stand up for your rights.

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, fleeing and eluding can be charged when a person  ”willfully fails or refuses to bring his vehicle to a stop, or who otherwise flees or attempts to elude a pursuing police officer, when given a visual and audible direction to bring the vehicle to a stop.”

Fleeing and eluding is charged as a second degree misdemeanor and carries with it significant penalties, including a mandatory $500.00 fine, in addition to being required to pay court costs. You will also likely get your license suspended or even revoked, depending on the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime. However, fleeing and eluding can be charged as a third degree felony if any of the following take place at the same time:

• The driver of the vehicle was under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  
• The driver of the vehicle crosses a state line during the chase
  
• The driver of the vehicle engages in a high speed chase, thereby putting the lives of both citizens and law enforcement in danger
