Negligent Operation
Marked Lanes
State Highway Violation
Client was a very pleasant hard working college student. He was charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle and two separate driving violations. Although this was his first offense, he had previously admitted to the same charge of negligent operation—which made the case more challenging. Moreover, in this case, the facts were suggestive of reckless and simply dangerous driving. According to the police, client drove onto the highway at a high speed. He was cutting off vehicles and changing lanes numerous times. He sideswiped a vehicle that caused the vehicle to strike another vehicle. Several vehicles were involved and client’s car was totaled. There were people who were sent to the hospital by ambulance as well. In the end, Attorney Barabino suggested he continue treatment with a doctor for seizure related condition. After many court dates, the District Attorney agreed to once again give him a chance to preserve his record with a continued without a finding and to take one driving class. The probation term will be for 6 months---if he doesn’t commit a new crime. Also, the two civil violations were found NOT RESPONSIBLE.
RESULT: Short Probation for Negligent Operation
