According to the PA DMV a "normal" Second Offense DUI gets you 5 days to 6 months jail Fine $300-2,500 1 year license suspension 1 year ignition interlock Of course, yours will be worse since you didn't wait till your suspension was up.
A DUI attorney in Pennsylvania can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. Costs are affected by where you live, whether this is your first DUI and the experience level of your lawyer.
A DUI will adversely affect your insurance regardless, but the degree of effectiveness depends on your history and your insurance company.
If you have been issued a citation for DUI there is no statute of limitations. You have been informed of the charge and will not be surprised by it. The ticket does not go away.

Consult with a lawyer for a current, correct and legal answer.
A DUI in Pennsylvania will not, unlike most states, change from a misdemeanor to a felony after multiple offense. There are situations in which other factors may push the offense to a felony-such as if the DUI involved a minor, etc.
To get insurance in the state of Pennsylvania after having a DUI on your record is fairly hard. First, you will need to wait 4 months after receiving the DUI. I then suggest having a personal talk with your insurer.
The DUI laws for both NJ and PA are very similar. Anybody driving with .08% alcohol intoxication is considered to be breaking the law and will be fined, serve jail time and have to take a drunk driving course.
No. Expunging a record is the only way to truly clear it completely. It will not be used as further punishment in conjunction with future infractions.
