Michael Moser has spent more than 20 years defending DUI cases exclusively in western Pennsylvania, a level of specialization that allows him to investigate dozens of potential issues in each case that a general practitioner would likely miss.
Introduction
The Law Offices of Michael Moser is a DUI defense practice with two office locations: 2661 Clearview Road, Suite 8, Allison Park, PA 15101, and 10700 Frankstown Road, Suite 305, Pittsburgh, PA 15235. The firm defends DUI cases exclusively in western Pennsylvania, covering court proceedings and DMV hearings. Free consultations are available.
DUI defense is not a practice area that rewards generalism. The law governing traffic stops, field sobriety testing, chemical testing, and DMV hearings is technical and procedurally demanding. After 20 years of exclusive focus on these cases, Michael Moser has developed an investigative process that systematically examines each case for every arguable legal issue.
Practice Areas
DUI Defense
The Law Offices of Michael Moser handles DUI defense exclusively. Every case is investigated across multiple dimensions: the legality of the initial traffic stop, the officer’s adherence to Pennsylvania state guidelines during the stop and arrest, the administration and performance of field sobriety tests, and dozens of additional potential issues that arise in the specific facts of each matter.
Traffic Stop Legality
A DUI case begins with a traffic stop, and that stop must be legally justified. If the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to initiate the stop, evidence obtained during the encounter may be suppressible. Michael Moser investigates the circumstances of every stop to determine whether the constitutional requirements for the initial detention were met.
Field Sobriety Test Challenges
Field sobriety tests are standardized procedures with specific administration requirements. When officers deviate from the prescribed methodology, the validity of the test results is compromised. The firm examines how each test was administered and whether the officer followed the protocols established by Pennsylvania and federal guidelines.
DMV Hearing Representation
A DUI arrest in Pennsylvania triggers both criminal proceedings and a separate administrative license suspension process handled by the DMV. The firm represents clients at both proceedings, understanding that license suspension can have serious consequences for employment and daily life independent of any criminal penalty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I hire a DUI-only attorney rather than a general criminal defense lawyer?

What happens to my driver’s license after a DUI arrest in Pennsylvania?
A DUI arrest in Pennsylvania triggers a separate administrative license suspension process through the DMV, in addition to criminal proceedings. The two processes are handled independently.
