Salesman in Pittsburgh Keeps His License After Multiple Traffic Charges

Not long ago, a 69-year-old salesman was at risk of losing his driving privileges and most likely his job after he received multiple traffic charges that included speeding in a school zone, failing to stop at a red signal and unsafe driving. The total penalty for these violations could have resulted in $1,000 in fines, 11 points on his license, a minimum 15-day license suspension, and a departmental review by PennDot, which would have likely resulted in an even longer suspension. As a salesman, he needed to retain his license to get between appointments and sought out the attorneys at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC for help.

Attorney Matthew Ness took the man’s case and spoke with the State Trooper involved, who stated that he initially believed tour client was attempting to hide from him to avoid the citations. After discussing the situation, we successfully negotiated to have the multiple traffic charges withdrawn and our client pled guilty to a single violation of failing to obey a traffic signal, which resulted in our client paying a $175 fine. In the end, our client kept his license and his job.

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.
