New York Man Sees Suspended License Restored

The highly skilled Pennsylvania criminal traffic lawyers at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC recently assisted a man from New York, when his visit to Pittsburgh resulted in some legal troubles. Apparently, he was visiting some friends but had the misfortune going through a common speed trap. While a speeding ticket is a significant issue for anyone, this individual’s situation was worsened by the fact that police also charged him driving under a suspended license. It became evident that the man had a New York traffic ticket that he never responded to, which triggered the suspension of his license. Even though this violation occurred in New York, Pennsylvania recognized the suspension which would potentially cost him over $1,000 in fines and result in a longer suspension, probably for another year. The man wanted to avoid such a lengthy suspension and to deal with this unanticipated situation, he sought out top-notch representation from extremely capable Pennsylvania traffic attorneys.

Once retained, attorney Matthew Ness thoroughly went over the details of his previous New York citation and thoroughly explained how his client could address his out of state license issues. Once his outstanding fines were paid, the New York suspension was lifted. This allowed attorney Ness to present the Pennsylvania traffic court with his client’s valid license and in doing so, he negotiated the driving under suspension violation reduced to a $25 ticket for not driving with his license. Furthermore, attorney Ness also achieved a complete dismissal of his original speeding ticket and his client was very pleased to return home with no traffic issues hanging over his head.

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.
