DUI & Marijuana Charges Withdrawn in Perry County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.

Multiple Felonies Reduced to Single Summary Offense

In Northumberland County, we assisted a client faced with multiple, very severe criminal charges, including Burglary, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Theft, and Receiving Stolen Property. With multiple felonies and misdemeanors hanging over his head, our client was exposed to a lengthy prison sentence.

We worked quickly to handle the case and resolved the entire situation favorable with a plea agreement to a single summary offense. This was a vast improvement and removed the fear of spending years behind bars.
