This morning a young college aged woman stood before the Court facing up to 180 days in jail and a misdemeanor conviction for aggravated speeding 26+ mph. The attorney’s at D&O stood by her side, and advocated to the State that our client was a hard working college student who regretted her mistake. After some back and forth, the State agreed to completely dismiss one of the violations and downgraded the misdemeanor criminal offense to a petty traffic offense. Our client received court supervision, and a small fine. The grateful young lady was thrilled, and able to go back to college today without a misdemeanor conviction on her record.
