Man Gets Probation After DUI, Multiple Violations

Our client was charged with five counts of first-degree misdemeanor DUI, a third-degree felony count of fleeing and eluding, six second-degree misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person, an ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance, a second-degree misdemeanor count of resisting arrest, and more than 30 moving violations.

In addition, our client was already on probation with another judge for charges that dated back to 1993. If convicted of the new criminal charges, the probationary judge could give him another sentence on the previous charges — entirely separate from the 40-year maximum he faced if convicted on all the new charges.

The experienced Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers took on his case and started negotiations with the prosecutors. Our client pled guilty to one DUI, fleeing and eluding, possession of a controlled substance, and driving without a license. He received a sentence of 3 to 6 months in jail, for which he had time credit.

Then we were able to convince the probation judge to let him out of jail and impose a new period of probation.

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.
