How We Saved a Client’s License, and Helped Him Walk Away With a Clean Record
Suspension of the driver’s license brings along an array of personal and financial hurdles. And you won’t be able to realize it until you’ve faced a similar situation.
A few days back, one of our clients received a notice of suspension of his driver’s license. And since he was the sole breadwinner of his family, he got fearful about the consequences that were to follow!
Disturbed and frightened, he finally mustered the courage to call us at the Logue Law Group and ask for help. And upon hearing the whole case, our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers accepted the case and plunged into action.
The results? Well, stick till the end to find out!
Why Did Our Client Receive a Suspension Notice?
So, our client, who happened to be a school teacher by profession, was caught driving with a suspended registration. And where he went wrong (legally, not morally) was that he pleaded guilty to the offense.
Now, no matter what you do, once you plead guilty, it means you are officially a convicted offender! However, our client was unaware of this fact and thought that the case was over.
But his notions were proved wrong when, a few days after the incident, he received a email stating the suspension of his license. He immediately called our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers and asked for help.
How Did We Handle the Case?
Our expert Pittsburgh criminal lawyers at the Logue Law Group are well aware of the intricacies of such cases. So, they took advantage of the 30-day window of notice and filed an appeal at the Court of Common Pleas.
Along with that, our lawyers also managed a stay order of the suspension from PennDOT. This move gave our client additional leverage- his license didn’t get suspended while the appeal was pending.
After that, our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers got to do what they do best- negotiations! They argued with the prosecution about the man’s clean driving history and demanded a reduction in the charges, so as to save his license.
And finally, after a brief negotiation session, the court agreed to our settlement offer. Our client’s charges were reduced to a zero-point, non-moving violation. This meant that our client was officially saved from acquiring points for his license. On top of that, his license suspension was revoked! As a result, our client would have a clean driving record, as he had before. Which means our client was now free to live his life without any worries whatsoever.
Well, that’s exactly why we advise everyone to hire an expert legal counsel for matters like this. You never know what actions might attract consequences, and how severe the consequences may be. Keeping an experienced legal professional by your side helps you understand the situation, stay aware of the consequences, and protect your rights effectively.
