Our client tried to get a driver's license in New York City, but was told he had a hold on his California license.  New York consequently refused to issue him a license.  This was a big problem for him, as his job required that he have a New York driver’s license.

Our client contacted us to resolve the hold on his California license.  After researching his driving record, we found an outstanding warrant for his arrest.  He had been charged five years earlier for driving with a suspended license, which is a misdemeanor violation of Vehicle Code Section 14601.1(a).  He then failed to appear at his arraignment, resulting in the warrant being issued.

Greg Hill first had the warrant lifted without having the client appear, which was unusual, but the Court excused this normal requirement on account of the client living out of state.  

Greg Hill then negotiated a plea bargain for our client in where the client agreed to plea no contest to driving with a suspended license in exchange for three years of summary probation, a monetary penalty and an assessment to the fine, which he was given twelve months to pay.

Had our client fought his case at trial and been found guilty, he faced a maximum of one year in county jail (in California no less).
