People v. T.J. (Palmyra Tn. Ct., 10/16)

          Mr. Corletta recently saved still another client’s license in People v. T.J. (Palmyra Tn. Ct., 10/16).

          In that case, the client, who drives for a living, came to him with a Misdemeanor Inadequate Brakes charge, which could have resulted in a license revocation. The client already suffered one license suspension for having too many points.

          Mr. Corletta was able to convince the Town Justice and District Attorney that the Inadequate Brakes charge lacked factual foundation, and was based only upon a statement made by the client that the brakes “must have failed” in explaining a rear end collision.

          As a result, the Prosecutor, realizing he could not prove the charge, offered Mr. Corletta’s client a zero point parking violation which saved the license and the client’s ability to work. All the client had to do was pay a $150.00 fine, which paled in comparison to losing a good paying job due to inability to drive.
