MR. CORLETTA OBTAINS PARKING VIOLATION FOR 19 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT

 

Mr. Corletta used a different tack, capitalizing on a prior trial relationship with an Assistant District Attorney,  to obtain a mere parking violation down from an initial 8 point speeding violation in People v. C.J. (Geneseo Village Ct., 11/19).

In that case, Mr. Corletta’s young client became lost while visiting a friend at a local college. Distracted, and not paying attention as many young drivers often do, the client obtained a Speeding ticket in a small village, allegedly traveling 67 mph in a 30 mph zone. Conviction would have resulted in numerous financial penalties from DMV for the client, and placement in the assigned risk pool, greatly increasing the client’s cost of insurance.

Explaining the circumstances, and capitalizing on the fact he knew the Assistant District Attorney from prior cases he had  tried with him, Mr. Corletta was able to obtain a break for his client, getting the Speeding ticket reduced to a parking violation, which will not go on the client's license. This was an extremely favorable result for this young client, and ensured the client would be able to obtain insurance at an affordable price, as a car is needed for work and school.
