Medical Student Faced With DUI Charge, Expunged From Record

A 22-year-old Pittsburgh medical student was faced with six months in jail after being charged with her first DUI. Even though she had no prior history, this charge would negatively impact her schooling and ability to become a doctor. Clearly worried about her future, she knew her best bet was to contact Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

Criminal defense attorney Mike Worgul knew it was important to keep her record free of a DUI charge. He knew how to handle this charge and went to work for her. Our client’s blood alcohol level was so low that technically she should have had a penalty of a one-year license suspension and 48 hours behind bars. With her career in mind, Worgul negotiated with the Commonwealth for no license suspension or jail time. The only requirement was a DUI program that upon completion, would leave her with a clean record after expungement. Our client successfully went through the entire program and was able to continue pursuing her medical career.

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.
