ABOUT US

Nistico Roberts, PC is the recognized leader in the five county Philadelphia area and Southern New Jersey handling DUI, Motor Vehicle Violations, and Driver License problems, exclusively. Because of our vast knowledge and skill in this area, we have been selected to teach other attorneys the "ins and outs" of DUI and driver licensing issues as part of their mandatory continuing legal education. In addition, we have presented seminars updating members of the Delaware County Bar and the District Justice Association on the changes in the DUI law.

Over the past ten years, we have helped thousands of drivers have their operating privileges restored and navigate the criminal justice system in DUI cases.

Effective February 1, 2004, a new DUI law went into effect in Pennsylvania. Not only has the minimum level of alcohol necessary in your bloodstream been reduced to .08, but many other changes have been made which alter what attorneys must know to properly represent a DUI client.

Please use the information provided in this website as a guide, rather than a substitute for legal advice. Many counties will not let you handle DUIs and serious traffic offense without legal representation. If you find yourself in need of an attorney to preserve your operating privileges, there is no substitute for a firm who concentrates exclusively in this area. Nistico Roberts, PC, is equipped to handle all of your DUI and licensing issues.

Charles G. Nistico

Charles G. Nistico has been practicing law for more than 30 years. For the last 15 years he has devoted ALL of his practice to the defense of persons charged with DUI, motor vehicle offenses, and the restoration of operating privileges. Many times this in not an easy job, but where there is a way, Chuck will find it!

After graduating from Temple Law School, Chuck was a law clerk for Judge Sloan of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. Shortly thereafter, he went into his own practice where he has been ever since. In 1974, he was nominated by the Governor to be a District Justice in the City of Chester, where he served until 1976; he was elected to a 6 year term as District Justice from 1982-1988. Between 1976 and 1982 he served as an assistant City Solicitor to the City of Chester.

While serving as District Justice, Chuck also taught Business Law at Widener University. After leaving the bench, he taught Criminal Procedure at the Judicial College for District Justices at Wilson College. At present and for the past six years, Chuck teaches DUI defense at Cape Institute, Inc., a provider of Continuing Legal Education for Pennsylvania Lawyers.

Until 1992, Chuck’s practice was a general one with a strong preference for criminal defense. As an attorney, in 1979, Chuck successfully defended the first Delaware County Death Penalty murder case. As a District Justice he presided over thousands of criminal cases in the City of Chester.

This love of criminal defense led to the creation of Charles Nistico & Associates in 1992; a criminal defense firm dedicated to defending persons charged with DUI and DWI as well as motor vehicle violations and license suspensions in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In 2001, the firm expanded to Nistico*Roberts, P.C. in order to increase its ability to serve those charged with DUI and motor vehicle offenses.

Chuck has litigated hundreds of DUI cases, including, Preliminary Hearings, Suppression Motions, Bench and Jury Trials and License Suspension Appeals. He is a member of the National College of DUI Defense, a national organization composed of DUI attorneys from all over the country, dedicated to the defense of those charged with DUI.

Chuck is committed to providing the best possible defense for a client charged with a DUI, motor vehicle violation or license suspension. More and more, the individual righs of drivers are being taken away by more and more restrictive laws. Chuck will continue to fight these laws any way possible.
