LEAVING THE SCENE

Leave Scene of Property Damage
Client was a young doctor who made light contact with another car and did not stop as directed under the law. She was summoned to court and Attorney Barabino was able to ensure that it was a clerk-magistrate hearing and not a summons for arraignment. A summons for an arraignment would be an automatic mark on her unblemished record. At that clerk magistrate hearing, all the issues were investigated and assurances that the other party was compensated. As a result, the court agreed to DISMISS the application for complaint.
Result: Application for Criminal Complaint, DISMISSED
