No Jail For An Electrician Driving In Butler With A Suspended Driver License

Most people need to drive as part of their jobs, but serious problems can arise if you get behind the wheel while you have a suspended driver license as a 39-year-old electrician in Butler, PA learned. The man had a lengthy history of driving violations but needed to commute more than 30 miles each day to work. When he was stopped most recently with a suspended driver license, he faced 90-days in jail, a $500 fine, and an additional one-year suspension. The man wanted to avoid spending time in jail and retained the services of Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

Our Butler criminal defense attorneys spoke with the officer and successfully got the charges reduced to driving without a license. This lesser charge carried a small fine, did not include jail time, and it reduced his additional suspension period to only six months instead of one year. While the client isn’t eligible to drive legally until 2025, he will not have to spend time in jail and can continue working.
