Years later, the client was a family man with his own business and wanted to move on from these offenses.

On a snowy day, Kelly Keegan’s client got into a car accident when his car slid off the road. He was subsequently cited with Petty Misdemeanor Failure to Drive with Due Care – Speed Greater than Reasonable.

When he tried to contact the prosecutor directly, he was told he would not be permitted to just pay a fine. Upon being hired, Kelly was able to negotiate a continuance for dismissal for her client, meaning that as long as he paid a fine and avoided any new traffic violations, the charges would be dismissed after one year. Kelly thus successfully avoided the negative consequences her client feared.
