Reckless Driving Reduced to Moving Violation

Our law firm was contacted by a woman in her mid-20s who was arrested by the Pittsburgh Police Department and charged with reckless driving. Realizing this misdemeanor charge carries a mandatory one-year suspension of an individual’s driver’s license, she sought the professional help of the Pittsburgh traffic attorneys at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC. Our attorneys accepted her case and immediately began to work on her behalf. Our client had no prior criminal record, was a department manager for a local retailer and had been driving home after a long day at work when she mistakenly pressed on the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal sending her car across the center barrier and colliding with an oncoming vehicle.

Understanding this was a mistake and knowing our client could not afford to lose her license for the mandatory one-year sentencing, we were able to defend her from the very beginning of the preliminary hearing all the way until we secured a favorable outcome for our client. Our attorneys were able to secure a reduced charge of one count of a moving violation that carries no points on a driving record and a small fee of only $170.00. Thanks to the representation of the experienced Pittsburgh traffic attorneys of Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC, our client avoided losing her license, having a permanent criminal record, and paying hundreds of dollars in court fines and fees.

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.
