Driving Under Suspension Charge Reduced

A man in his 30s who works in the education industry was charged in Allegheny County with driving under suspension, careless driving, and failing to obey a traffic device. The man’s license was suspended years ago for a DUI and he never got his license reinstated with PENNDOT. Driving under suspension is a summary offense with a jail sentence of up to 90 days.

The man called Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys for help addressing inactive citations so that he could get his license back. In addition to the DUI that resulted in his driver’s license being suspended, he had other traffic offense and some misdemeanor crimes on his record.

Pittsburgh criminal attorney Samir Sarna negotiated with the police officer and magistrate so that the man could plead to a reduced charge of driving without a license instead of the driving under suspension charge. He had a $25 fine. All other charges were dismissed.
