Driver gets minimum fine and zero points for CDL offense

The attorneys at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC often represent truck drivers with Commercial Driver License violations. These charges are serious for CDL drivers because they often include stiff penalties and can cause higher insurance rates. Recently, a 44-year old man was pulled over while driving through the Swissvale section of Pittsburgh and charged with following too closely, which is a three-point offense. With the competitive job market for drivers and limited income, the man knew he needed strong legal representation to protect his career and hopefully reduce the amount of the fine for this CDL offense.

Our client was represented by Pittsburgh attorney Samir Sarna, who spoke to the officer involved. We effectively convinced the officer to adjust the charge to a lesser violation, which included no points on his license and a $25 fine. With the reduction in charges and a minimal fine, our client was able to continue working as a CDL driver.

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.
