Recently, a man in his mid-30s was charged in Hamilton County Municipal Court for improper signal and leaving the curb. Both of these charges are minor misdemeanors in the State of Ohio. This was extremely worrying for the man because he already had 10 demerit points on his Ohio BMV license, and any other moving violation on his record would have meant a driver’s license suspension. He had already taken the 2-point remedial driving class so that wasn’t an option. Since his job is driving for a living, he faced losing his job for any kind of suspension.
He reached out to Brad Groene, an experienced Cincinnati traffic lawyer who has handled these types of cases before. Brad assessed the evidence against the client and determined that there was no probable cause for the police officer’s stop. He attended one court date and was able to get the leaving the curb charge dismissed altogether. The failure to signal charge was reduced to a non-moving, zero point equipment violation.
The client was thrilled. Because of Brad’s efforts, he was able to keep his license and his job.
