Unfortunately, all of us face the inevitable.  While we have worked and sacrificed our whole lives to accumulate wealth for the benefit of ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren, if certain precautions are not taken during our lifetime, a great deal of the wealth we’ve spent our lives earning can end up in the hands of unintended beneficiaries and the government through Pennsylvania Inheritance tax and the Federal Estate tax.

One of the most common criminal charges in Pennsylvania is Driving Under the Influence (DUI), also known as, Driving After Imbibing (DAI).
