Driver Avoids Conviction for Driving While License Suspended
A Florida Highway Patrol Trooper observed a red Kia traveling southbound on State Road 93 in Sarasota County at an unlawful speed. The trooper conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver. Upon running a driver’s license check the trooper discovered that the driver’s license was suspended for Driving Under the Influence. The trooper then issued the driver a citation for Driving While License Suspended and a citation for Unlawful Speed.
The defendant hired Meldon Law. The attorney at Meldon reviewed the facts of the case, filed a motion to consolidate the civil infraction and spoke with the client about circumstances surrounding the suspension and his driving. The attorney then spoke with the prosecutor and was able to negotiate a resolution that allowed the driver to receive a withhold of adjudication and also have the civil traffic citation for speeding dismissed.
