Felony Fraud Impressively Resolved with ARD

In Franklin County, we assisted a single mother after being criminally charged with Fraudulent Receipt of Benefits. The woman was struggling and receiving food and medical benefits, but was charged with felony and misdemeanor charges for receiving benefits for a period of time after becoming employed.

Attorney Czekaj relentlessly negotiated to allow his client into the ARD program, even though her participation would be contrary to the DA’s policy to allow ARD for felony offenses. Ultimately, she was admitted into ARD, successfully completed the program, and later had her charges dismissed and expunged.

Czekaj also assisted with the expungement process following the ARD completion, which spared her from being a convicted felon. In the end, she kept her job and was able to provide for her children.

DUI & Marijuana Charges Withdrawn in Perry County

Attorney Timothy Czekaj recently helped a client in Perry County, who was charged with DUI, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Paraphernalia, and Operation of Vehicle without Ignition Interlock. Due to the number of priors, the client was facing a minimum of one year in jail and a felony conviction.

Ultimately, all charges were dismissed by Commonwealth after attorney Czekaj’s Motion to Suppress Evidence based on lack of probable cause for the officer to initiate the traffic stop. The judge ruled in our favor, and with no evidence, the Commonwealth was forced to withdraw charges.

Prior to the successful motion, the best offer from the Commonwealth was to plead guilty and receive mandatory minimums. Attorney Czekaj examined the MVR recording from the traffic stop and determined that the officer actually did not have probable cause to initiate the stop, thereby making all evidence received as a result of the stop inadmissible.
