Recent Petersburg, Virginia Following Too Closely Accident Dismissed

Recently I went to court for someone. The prosecutors had a strong case because my client admitted guilt. So there was no legal defense to the charge because of my client’s admission. However, I was able to get the charge dismissed in court.

Every case is unique and past results do not predict the future. It is VERY important to have a good reputation with the court, the judges, the prosecutors, and law enforcement. On this case, I was able to find a creative way to get the case completely dismissed.
