Peter L. Johnston, Esquire represented a young Philadelphia man arrested for driving a stolen car receive a probationary sentence. The man incurred his first arrest as an adult and gave a statement to the police admitting that he got into a running vehicle that was not his without the owner’s permission. Since his family was unable to post his bail even after Mr. Johnston had it lowered, he remained in pretrial detention. However, Mr. Johnston helped his client resolve the case by pleading guilty, receive two years probation and be released from jail. He is now free and able to resume his efforts to obtain professional certification and lead a productive, law-abiding life.
