Saved Client’s Driver’s License

Road rage can have far-reaching effects and consequences. One of the most common consequences is causing an accident. So, what do you do if you’re in a road-rage-related accident and are afraid to confront an aggravated driver?

In the case of our client, they left the scene to avoid further altercation. As a result, they faced a 12-point penalty against their driving record for charges related to careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. This ultimately would have caused them to lose their license. 

After reviewing the facts of the case, our skilled Criminal Defense Team was able to use a defense of duress to negotiate a plea to amended charges of Lane Use Violation, thereby preventing our client from losing their license.
