Charges Withdrawn for a Client Accused of Driving with a Suspended License
Recently, we at Logue Law Group handled a case where we had to deal with a license reinstatement for one of our clients. Mr. Ashton, a 40-year-old executive of an established private firm, was pulled over by the cops for speeding and got his license suspended.
However, owing to the nature of our client’s job, a suspension of his license would’ve affected his career substantially. But, being the sole bread earner of his family, Mr. Ashton sought help from our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers and requested us to help.
Let’s stick to the blog to find out what happened next, and how we ruled the entire thing in our client’s favor!
What was our Client Charged With?
As stated by the patrolling officer, Mr. Ashton was speeding in a construction zone during the busy traffic hours. Although he was going at 30 mph, which was just 5 mph above the legal limit, he was pulled over and got his license suspended.
Now, Mr. Ashton could not think of another way out. He was obviously not ready to add points on his license, as that would cause his insurance premiums to shoot up. Confused and overwhelmed, he called out Pittsburgh criminal lawyers and asked for a solution.
How Did We Move?
The moment we heard the briefing about the whole case, we immediately started planning a strategy. And after a long internal discussion, our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers came up with a robust plan to appeal for two tickets on behalf of our client.
The first appeal was obviously to dismiss the case on the grounds of procedural error, as our experienced lawyers knew about the erroneous results of speed detecting devices. And the second appeal was based on our client’s clean driving history and record, which showed not a single traffic ticket in all the years he had been driving.
What Was the Outcome?
Based on the two appeals that our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers filed, and looking at the clean driving record of our client, the prosecution finally decided to withdraw one of the traffic tickets. Mr. Ashton, however, had to plead guilty to a zero-point non-moving violation, and as a result, he got his license reinstated without any further hassle!
