Witnesses obtained our clients tag and provided it to the police who went to our clients home and cited him. During pre-trial motion practice, prosecutors were able to secure a state charged continuance citing difficulties contacting their witnesses. During their second motion for continuance, citing an entirely different reason, Ticket Clinic attorneys were able to successfully lobby the Judge to deny the prosecutor's request because they had never corrected the problem cited in their first motion and were essentially seeking to perpetuate a fraud on the court. The prosecutor was eventually forced to dismiss the charge.
