Operating Uninsured Motor Vehicle
Client was a talented working professional who was cited by police for driving a car that was unregistered and uninsured due to a good faith mistake on his part. Before the charges would go forward, he was given a Clerk Magistrate’s hearing which he retained Attorney Barabino to help him prepare for. Given his experience, Attorney Barabino knew that these cases tend to resolve favorably for clients when there is no accident and a legitimate reason for the mistake. Attorney Barabino prepared for the hearing with an affidavit and exhibit and was successful. The charges did not issue and client would have nothing on his record. When a case is dismissed after a person is arraigned that dismissal remains on their record, but when a case does not go forward at the Clerk Magistrate’s level, nothing stays on their record.
RESULT: No Criminal Charges issue after Successful Clerk Magistrate’s Hearing.
