Second DUI Dismissed

Our client faced his second charge of driving under the influence, which meant he could receive a mandatory sentence of 30 days in the Allegheny County jail if convicted. He also faced losing his driver’s license for 12 months, which was very worrisome to him. He knew he needed help and contacted the Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

We represented him on his second DUI case, and after reviewing the facts contacted the prosecutor to discuss a plea. After negotiations, the prosecutor offered to let our client serve his sentence for the second DUI charge via home confinement instead of going to jail. Our client declined the offer in favor of letting us present a motion that would get his case dismissed if granted by a judge.

We presented the motion to suppress to the court, and the motion was granted. Our client got the result he wanted when his second DUI case was dismissed.

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.
