Negociation with a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Judge


PennDot, did a ten years suspention of my driver license. they did that suspension because I had 4 conviction for DUI'S (all 4 First -Offense).

the past week the judge answer me a motion were I request my license back , I aslo send a copy of the transcript in were the Judge make clear of the one (1) year suspention for each DUI.
He deny my motion , under the argument "I dont have any Juridiction".

Sounds BAD...I know that guy's , But now I need legal advice in this matter.

Like many people in my life was the first time to step into a criminal case. On 2004 I was stop and found guilty of driving under the influence (Dui), 4 times , because I got the dui's before any convictions , they went as First offense, inThe negociation that I have between the Judge and the D.A. was some jail time , fines , and the driving privilege to be suspended 1 year for each Dui.

I didnt have an attorney present at the negociation,but all this is in the court transcrip. PennDot,are not taking in count of the negociation and/or,they are taking as the fourth offense

How to... have PennDot correct the 10 years suspension to 4 years? and If the Judge dont have anymore Juridiction in this case , who are?

Thank You.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You need a (better) lawyer.
Note that PennDot's administrative suspension is a different beast than the suspension the judge ordered. You had 30 days to respond. Hopefully you didn't allow that to expire. There's a way to appeal PennDot decision to the common pleas court.

ten years actually may be correct...

the court suspends the DL for 1 year...

BUT..

the DMV also suspends for 1 year and they do not run at the same time..

more convitions the more years... I believe a 3 rd convition is 18 months from the DMV..

so here is a example how it adds up.

1st convition

court 1 year suspension + DMV 1 year = 2 years...

2nd convition 1 year court + DMV 1 year = another 2 years

add both together you get 4 years....

get it?

What I am saying isthe court takes the DL for 1 year.. BUT the DMV will take it for another year and they do not run together...


get a DUI lawyer ASAP
