Underage Drinking Client Avoids 1 Year License Suspension

by | Oct 9, 2012 | Uncategorized |

I recently represented a local college student in a Berks County, PA facing a second charge of underage drinking. A conviction on such a summary offense would result in PENNDOT suspending her license to operate a motor vehicle for one year, among other things. Since we were unable to get the result we were looking for at the District Court level, we had to get creative.

We filed a summary appeal to the Court of Common Pleas in Reading and began negotiations. We secured a stay of the imposition of suspension by filing the necessary documents with PENNDOT. In the end, we were able to win a reduction in charge ensuring my client would not suffer a license suspension.
