Charges: Misdemeanor failing to drive with due care and three other petty misdemeanor traffic citations.

Resolution:

Continuance for dismissal. Client caused a chain reaction accident and all of the evidence confirmed she was at fault – including an admission by the client. Armed with no defenses, the North Star team obtained reactive steps by the client to address some of the underlying petty offenses – such as installing car seats as required again. And with some savvy negotiations, Mr. Gempeler obtained this fantastic result for a client who was concerned about creating a criminal record from an accident and all the negative collateral consequences that come from it. Now with a continuance for dismissal, she will have no conviction or formal acknowledgment of guilt on the record.
