Verona Woman Keeps License After Failing To Carry Valid Auto Insurance

In Verona, a woman was recently cited for careless driving after a car accident, but her legal troubles were actually just beginning. Apparently, the woman had mistakenly let her car insurance lapse and was not only exposed to the Pennsylvania point system for her violations, but also a three-month license suspension for failing to carry valid auto insurance. The woman needed to drive for work and while she knew that she’d face some ramifications, she initially attempted to handle the matter herself. It was not until after she entered a guilty plea in traffic court and received the official PennDOT paperwork alerting her to an administrative license suspension that she fully appreciated her situation. Now faced with losing her ability to drive anyway, the woman began searching for a veteran Pennsylvania traffic attorney and came upon Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

Attorney Mathew Ness met with the woman and explained that she found herself in this predicament because the court only needed to make her aware of the criminal implications and not necessarily the collateral consequences of entering a guilty plea in a traffic related matter. By utilizing his experience with similar issues, attorney Ness filed a motion to appeal his client’s case to find her a more desirable outcome. He assisted his client in rectifying her insurance issues and on the day of the hearing, attorney Ness was able to present a fully insured client. He further highlighted her efforts and through his adept presentation, the judge dismissed both the careless driving and insurance violations. Essentially, by finally deciding to retain a capable and efficient traffic attorney, this young woman not only kept her license but would not see any points added to her driving record.

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.
