Leaving the Scene of Property Damage
Client was a Marine accused of hitting a tree with his car and driving away. Client was arraigned and Attorney Barabino provided a great deal of documentation to the Court and the Assistant District Attorney on why the case should not move forward. The Assistant District Attorney agreed with Attorney Barabino that there were facts questioning the validity of the charge. Client happily agreed to take a four-hour Brains at Risk class in exchange for his case being left open for six months with no admission of wrongdoing. After these six months pass, his case will be dismissed.
RESULT: NO admission of wrongdoing. Case to be dismissed in six months after client takes a class. NO conviction, fine, or license suspension.
