People v. H.B. (Victor Tn. Ct., 11/16)

          Mr. Corletta obtained a highly favorable disposition for a professional client in People v. H.B. (Victor Tn. Ct., 11/16). The client is a physical therapist who travels for purposes of employment. The client had a minor insurance lapse of 24 days which resulted in a brief suspension of the vehicle’s registration. This was due to a switch in insurance companies and often happens. The client’s insurance lapsed for a brief period of time during the switch. However, the client was not notified of the registration suspension. Several months later, the vehicle was stopped due to the brief suspension although the vehicle had been reinsured.

          The deputy overreacted and towed the vehicle, costing the client $1,400.00 in storage fees. The client had already promptly reinstated the insurance. Mr. Corletta brought these facts to the District Attorney’s attention and those charges were withdrawn and dismissed. The vehicle was retrieved from impound, and the client pled guilty to a minor 0 point registration violation. Not only was this important from an equities standpoint, but the client is a professional, and the client's professional license would have been endangered by a criminal conviction for driving with a suspended registration over this minor incident.
