Permitting an Unlicensed Operator
Client was a member of a large landscaping company who was charged with permitting an unlicensed operator. Client was called to the scene of an accident of a fellow employee and took a leadership role in facilitating removal of the vehicle at the accident scene. Police determined that the fellow employee was without a license and based on a variety of factors the police charged client with permitting unlicensed operation. Attorney Barabino immediately had client file the citation with the court within 4-day time limited to permit a magistrate hearing to review the matter. The hearing date was granted, and a 6-page legal memorandum was prepared in defense of the charge. At the hearing, the magistrate did not issue the complaint.
RESULT: Memorandum Filed, Magistrate Does Not Issue Complaint, No Record
