Long Beach Felony Hit & Run Dismissed After Civil Compromise Attorney Success # 1
Our client was involved in a minor traffic accident on the 405 Freeway at about 11:00 a.m. Our client left the scene of the accident because he was already on probation for a previous DUI arrest.
His family called us on a Saturday afternoon when they found out the police were outside of his house with a warrant for his arrest.
Greg Hill went to our client's house and drove him to the Long Beach Police Department to turn himself in. The police officers that had been at our client's house to arrest him earlier were at the police station. The officers then arrested our client on charges of DUI (Vehicle Code Section 23152(b)), a misdemeanor, Hit & Run (Vehicle Code Section 20002(a)), also a misdemeanor, and Driving Without Insurance (Vehicle Code Section 16029), a misdemeanor.
After Greg Hill explained the situation to the officers, the officers ordered the client to submit to a PAS (Portable Alcohol Screening) test. The PAS result was a BAC of .07.
At the arraignment, John Hill of Greg Hill & Associates (formerly John Hill & Associates) negotiated with the Long Beach City Prosecutor to dismiss the DUI charge based on the PAS results and the Driving Without Insurance charge, as the client obtained proof of current insurance.
The client’s punishment consisted of a fine of $639 and 40 hours of Cal-Trans to be completed within 12 months. Upon proof of completion of the Cal-Trans hours and proof of payment of the fine to the court, the case was completely dismissed against our client.
Our client now can continue working without any of the above charges reflecting on his constant background checks.
Had our client taken the case to trial, he faced a maximum of 2 years in state prison.
