People v. M.D. (Mt. Morris Village Ct., 9/18).

Mr. Corletta helped a non-local resident achieve a reasonable disposition of 11 points worth of traffic tickets in People v. M.D. (Mt. Morris Village Ct., 9/18).

          The client, who was from Long Island, was traveling to Canada while driving through an unfamiliar area. While attempting to pass another vehicle, the client accelerated to approximately 60 mph in a 30 mph zone and was pulled over. The police erroneously wrote the ticket for a higher speed than what the client was traveling, thereby implicating a possible license revocation.

          Mr. Corletta immediately sprung into action by contacting the Assistant District Attorney, outlining the circumstances, and indicated the case was overcharged. The District Attorney agreed, and consented to a reduction to a mere 3 point Speeding violation, a savings of 8 points and a certain license suspension for the client, all without the client having to come from Long Island to appear in Court. The client, who held a responsible job requiring travel, was extremely grateful to Mr. Corletta for preservation of their driving privileges without having to do anything more than sign a Waiver form pleading guilty to the lesser charge.
