Allegheny County Woman’s DUI Charge Expunged

A 60-year-old woman from Allegheny County was charged with her first DUI offense. She was cited for a high BAC level of .216 – over the legal Pennsylvania limit of .08. The woman had been a security guard for 16 years and was recently retired. She was supported by her two daughters. It was at this time, the woman contacted Samir Sarna at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys for legal consult.

Having no prior criminal history, Sarna saw an opportunity to get his client into Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) , therefore, getting her an expungement of the charge in the future upon completion of the program. Under ARD, she will be responsible for 12 months of non-reporting probation, a 60-day license suspension, enrollment in an alcohol highway safety program and a drug alcohol assessment with further treatment if needed before finalizing the expungement of her DUI charge.
