Driving Under a DUI Suspension Charge Reduced to Simple Failure to Show License

Jun 23 2015, by Michael Fienman in Case Results, Criminal Defense, Traffic Defense

A young lady was recently hired by Fienman Defense to represent her case when she was charged with driving under a DUI suspension. If convicted the client could would be facing a mandatory, minimum sentence of 60-days incarceration in addition to a hefty fine.

When this young lady contacted Fienman Defense, she was concerned about what might happen to her since she had received a DUI a few years ago and never properly went through the process to reinstate her license. Montgomery County DUI attorney Michael Fienman reviewed her case, provided her with a driver’s restoration consultation and patiently explained what her next steps should be to get her license back. After following attorney Fienman’s advice, his client succeeded in getting her license reinstated.

Attorney Fienman represented his client in Montgomery County Magisterial District Court 38-1-18 in Montgomeryville. Despite the seriousness of the charges, the client had her charge reduced to a simple failure to carry a valid license.

When the case was heard in trial, the client had a valid license. On that basis, attorney Fienman was able to make a plea to the police officer and judge that further punishment by suspending her license would be punitive.

No points were added to the client’s license and the fines she had to pay were minimal.

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.
