Home Confinement for Non-PA Resident with Third DUI Charge

Our client was charged with a third DUI offense. He faced a mandatory prison sentence of 1 to 2 years if convicted. His case was further complicated by the fact that he was not a resident of Allegheny County. That meant he could not participate in a local court program for house arrest. He was worried about the possible outcome of his third DUI charge and having to serve jail time in Pennsylvania, and contacted our Pittsburgh DUI defense lawyers for help.

We contacted the prosecutor’s office and negotiated a plea on behalf of our client to his third DUI charge. We then convinced the judge to accept the plea, which allowed our client to be sentenced to home confinement with work release in his home state of North Carolina.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
