ARD Secured for a DUI-accused Bucks County Resident
At Logue Law Group, we have a record of going quite the distance just to meet our clients’ demands! We’ve been involved in fierce negotiations with the prosecution. We’ve also conducted thorough investigations and have extracted the most favorable outcome for our clients when all hopes were lost!
So, when a Bucks County resident called our Pittsburgh DUI attorneys and stated that she wasn’t satisfied with the services of her first legal counsel, we decided to jump in. What happened next? Well, follow along with the blog to find out.
An Unresolved DUI
It was the month of September when Mrs. Taylor, a woman in her mid-30s, was on her way home from work. She had quite a rough day and took a short detour to a local bar where she had a couple of drinks.
However, as per her statements, she was in full control and was driving according to the regulations. But, unfortunately, she became a victim of an improper traffic stop. While briefing the case to our Pittsburgh DUI attorneys, she told us that the patrolling officer at the stop saw her tailgating dangerously and insisted that she take a breathalyzer test. And as a result, she was accused of a DUI charge.
The most surprising part of this case starts from here! Mrs. Taylor sought help from a legal counsel to dismiss the case. But, it turned out that her legal representative wasn’t experienced enough, and told her that the case was beyond dismissal!
Now, Mrs. Taylor didn’t want to keep this DUI charge unresolved, as she knew how severe the consequences might be in the long run. On top of that, she had heard about some miraculous outcomes that our Pittsburgh DUI attorneys secured, and decided to call us up.
The Resolution
The first thing we did was listen to the whole situation our client was in. So, along with the briefing, we also answered several questions that Mrs. Taylor had regarding her situation.
In fact, she was so heavily misguided that she thought she had to face an imprisonment sentence, and would have a criminal record tagged by her name her whole life!
But, after talking with the experienced Pittsburgh DUI attorneys at our firm, she got her hopes back! We assured her that we would get the best outcome for her first-time offense. As promised, we took a thorough look at the evidence and decided to move with an ARD appeal.
However, our client had a medical emergency in the meantime and was advised to be in complete bed rest for a month. This meant that she wasn’t going to be present at court during the hearing. Such situations have high chances of getting complicated, but our attorneys have enough experience handling such events. We filed an advance application, along with the medical certifications justifying our client’s absence, which the court accepted.
Not just that, but the court also accepted our client’s admission to the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program, completing which the charges against Mrs. Taylor would be dropped and expunged.
Mrs. Taylor couldn’t believe her ears after hearing this! She did not expect such a smooth closure to her case, and was elated with the services of our Pittsburgh DUI attorneys. She didn’t want her name etched on criminal records, and we helped her secure that seamlessly.
And that’s what makes our Logue Law Group a popular name in and around the Pennsylvania region. So, if you, or a loved one, are facing DUI charges, don’t hesitate to call us at 844.PITT.DUI and get in touch.
