Successful Defense: Marijuana Possession Charge Dropped

Case Dismissed: Successful Defense Against Weather-Related Citation
A client in Washington, D.C. was issued a ticket for running a red light after sliding on some ice in the road. He was concerned that the point added to his license would cause him to lose his Commercial Driver’s License, so we scheduled a hearing at the D.C. DMV to contest the ticket.

License Restored: Successful Appeal of DMV Revocation
A client discovered that his license was suspended by the D.C. DMV when he tried to obtain a Real ID and his reinstatement application was denied.

The DMV Traffic Adjudication Board ruled in our favor and our client was able to successfully reinstate his license.
Disciplinary Action Avoided: Negotiated Dismissal for Army Veteran

License Hold Removed: DMV Error Corrected via Court Certification
