About
“I help my clients avoid license suspensions so they can maintain their livelihoods. Anyone with a serious traffic violation should be zealously represented. I have seen too many situations where a lawyer without experience inadvertently enters into a plea bargain on behalf of a client and the client ends up in the unemployment line because they lost their license.” The loss of driving privileges can be devastating. David E. Hershey applies a keen understanding of licensing rules to protect drivers’ rights and help them keep their driver’s licenses and their livelihoods. Mr. Hershey has more than 23 years of experience in all areas of traffic law representation. Since 1987, Mr. Hershey has handled in excess of 2,000 traffic cases in South Central Pennsylvania. Known throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as one of the foremost authorities on defending traffic and driver’s license cases, Mr. Hershey is the course planner and presenter of a continuing education seminar for Pennsylvania attorneys on driver licensing issues. He teaches other lawyers about commercial driver license violations and how they differ from state to state. Mr. Hershey routinely represents clients in Penn DOT driver license suspension appeals before the Courts of Common Pleas and in Administrative Hearings before the Department of Transportation. Mr. Hershey’s experience includes jury trials with DUI and Homicide by Vehicle cases, as well as other types of criminal matters. He also handles overweight violations and registration violations for trucking companies and owner operators. He is also a course instructor for the Minor Judiciary Education Board for the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, where he has taught the Vehicle Code to Magisterial District Judges throughout the state since 1998. Mr. Hershey has lectured and conducted seminars on DUI and driver licensing topics for numerous organizations and groups. A former Hearing Committee member of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Disciplinary Board, Mr. Hershey is now available to represent other lawyers facing disciplinary action. Mr. Hershey is a graduate of the University of Toledo (Ohio) School of Law and received his undergraduate degree from the Pennsylvania State University.

Attorney David Hershey, by far is the best lawyer I have every consulted, talked to, and hired as my attorney. His knowledge of the Pennsylvania traffic system and his expertise set him apart from any other lawyer. Attorney Hershey represented me for a reckless driving ticket I received in March 2012. After talking to some family, who informed me about getting a lawyer for this, I called another firm, and they referred me to Attorney Hershey. His professionalism, experience, and communication were so magnificent it still leaves me speechless. So we went to court September 2012, I was really nervous, but Attorney Hershey, kept his composure and professionalism. He did his research of the law of reckless driving in PA, and had example cases of worse violations then mine, and submitted it during my trial. At the end of the trial, the reckless driving charge was dropped. Even after the trial I had a question a week later, and Attorney Hershey still called me back to answer my question. He was here for me to answer my every question and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer. A lawyer of honesty, integrity, professionalism, great communication, trustworthy, and dependable. He is just the best. Thank you for representation and help. I would not be driving legally if it were not for you.
He’s help me so much on my case, he explain it to me very well. He’s the best. I 100 percent recommend him
Attorney Hershey assisted with a case about my teenager. He gave good advice and communicated well through the process. He regularly gave me updates without asking.
Had a minor traffic offense and had it resolved expertly. Couldn't have asked for better!
All of my needs were met. I also referred this team to a friend, they then sent the case to someone more specialized in his needs. I hope everyone sees the honesty there. I'd rather someone send me in the right direction versus act like they know, lose a case and the money you spent to hire the person as it is typically non refundable.
