Delaware County Criminal Defense Lawyer Discusses Increase of Delco DUI Rise

Share this news:

DUI charges stay on criminal records for a long time, and they can impact your life permanently. Local Delaware County criminal defense lawyer Arik Benari discusses what is being done to prevent this from happening - and what we can do moving forward.

According to a new report, state and local police have seen the second-highest number of crashes related to DUIs in and around Media over the last year. This has amounted to some 622 DUI arrests and 165 DUI crashes, the third highest number in the state. Arik Benari, of The Benari Law Group, has likewise seen the number of DUI related cases on the rise in Media and the surrounding areas.


The Benari Law Group has successfully defended DUI cases for over seventeen years now, though there has been a marked increase in the last few years in terms of alcohol and drugs. According to Arik Benari, “There has absolutely been an increase in Delco DUIs, and likewise, there has been an increase in the number of checkpoints and illegal stops. It is best that people know about their rights and what they can and cannot do when they have been stopped under suspicion of a DUI.”


As a DUI defense lawyer in Delaware County, Benari has seen the impact of a DUI charge in Delaware County. It is a serious crime, and it can result in serious consequences. The law firm has helped hundreds of clients get their livelihoods back, have had charges dismissed, and helped their clients avoid serious consequences.


“People don’t realize that one night, one good time, can completely destroy their entire lives. One DUI can completely upend your career and your opportunities. If you want to be a chaperone at your child’s field trip, a DUI can stop that. If you want to get a certain job, if you need to travel, a DUI can stop that.”


While there have been some proposals put into place to eliminate DUIs from records after some time, they still impact people for decades. “Certainly criminal offenders need to get help and shouldn’t be driving if they cannot control themselves,” Benari says. “However, we cannot allow these charges to prevent people who have been rehabilitated from moving on with their lives.”
