Charges: Careless Driving – Misdemeanor

Resolution:

Plea to an amended count of a petty misdemeanor speeding violation. The client allegedly drove buzzed with an alcohol concentration just shy of the legal limit. Typically, this is a slam-dunk Careless Driving, misdemeanor conviction. But, with the appropriate arguments and strategy – not to mention a great relationship with the prosecutor – the North Star team was able to obtain a plea to the equivalent of a speeding ticket. On top of that, the team successfully dragged the case out enough to avoid this violating probation terms for a different case.
