Carpenter’s DUI-Related Driving Under Suspension Charges Reduced

A man in his mid-40s was recently charged with driving under a suspended license (DUI-related) in Butler County. A summary offense, driving on a suspended license carries a mandatory 60-day license suspension when it is related to a DUI conviction. The man was also charged with driving without a license, driving without insurance, and several other minor offenses.

Concerned about what would happen next, he turned to Pittsburgh DUI lawyer Mike Worgul to handle his case. The man had a DUI several years back but never knew what to do to get his license back after the suspension period was over. As a result, he was driving to work and other places without a license when he could have had one all along. At the time of the traffic stop, he was pulled over by a state trooper who was going to give him a warning. Unfortunately, our client lied to the trooper, who then cited him for the offenses.

As a carpenter in the construction industry, our client needed to get his license back so he could drive and earn a living. We realized that, despite the charges, our client was eligible for getting his license back. We obtained a copy of his restoration requirements letter and provided him with a path to reclaim his license. Our client showed up as the hearing with his license, which made negotiates much easier. Mike was able to convince the officer to drop all of the more serious charges down to minor traffic offenses. As a result, our client did not have to go to jail, lose his license, or acquire any new demerit points on his license.
