Five Misdemeanors Reduced to One Moving Violation

Our law firm was contacted by a 36-year-old male who had been arrested by the Mt Lebanon Police Department and charged with leaving the scene of an accident. He was facing a total of five serious misdemeanor charges which included three offenses that carried a one-year license suspension for each offense: one count of reckless driving, one count of careless driving and one count of running a red light. Not only was our client looking at several hundred dollars in fees and fines but also the loss of his driving license for up to three years.

After securing representation with the Pittsburgh criminal defense team at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC, we went to work on behalf of our client. This young man had no prior criminal record and no moving violations or citations. He had worked for more than 13 years at a local grocery store and was medically diagnosed with minor mental delays which needed to be considered by the court as a part of the charges brought against him. Our Pittsburgh criminal defense attorneys worked diligently on behalf of the client, resulting in a plea agreement to bring the charges of the case to only one count of a moving violation that carries zero points on a driving record and a small fine of only $150.00. Our client was able to prevent the loss of his drivers license, secure his continued clean driving record and avoid any criminal record from charges brought against him in this case.
