State v. S.A.

Plea to a petty misdemeanor failing to drive with due care. The client was flying on 494 in his expensive sports car, going in excess of 110+ mph. The City added the serious criminal charges as a way to combat against such fast drivers. Add in the fact that a conviction to excessive speeding would result in a 6-month loss of license, the client was stressed about the possibility of a criminal record and losing his license. The North Star team fought back though, challenging the legal basis for the misdemeanor charges. With the hearing days away, we were then able to leverage it to reach a resolution that did not result in a loss of license or a criminal conviction. The client was floored, never expecting such a fantastic result. This is what we do, routinely.
