Commonly, an individual who has been involved in a hit and run will falsely
report that their vehicle has been stolen or is missing. The report will usually
follow the accident and can subject the individual to additional charges of
filing a false police report, which in and of itself is a felony offense. It is
never a good idea to compound the crime by engaging in this conduct. The
hit and run charge is serious enough and often the police will easily be able to
see through the report as a way of covering a person's tracks. It is
recommended instead that the person immediately retain the services of a
good, local, experienced attorney who can meet with the police and minimize
or avoid altogether criminal prosecution. In many cases the evidence may
place the person at the scene and eyewitnesses identification may exist that
could implicate the person in the crime.
For well over a decade we have been successfully representing people
accused of hit and run. Many times criminal charges can be avoided if the
damages are covered and the injured party is made whole. In fact, the law
recognizes that a "civil compromise" can be effectuated thereby discharging
an otherwise guilty party from criminal prosecution.
Recently, the attorney was retained to represent a young man in the Long
Beach area after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident and had fled the
scene. The Lawyer took immediate steps to properly advise the individual on
what and what not to do. The lawyer contacted law enforcement on behalf
of the client and arranged to have the vehicle released from police impound.
Thereafter, the lawyer communicated with the client's insurance company
and resolved the issue of damages and compensation for the vehicle. No
criminal hit and run charges were ever filed against the client.
In another recent case, our attorney was retained by a local college student
who had been charged with a hit and run in Long Beach after she bumped a
car in a parking lot and left without contacting the owner or the police. The
client was studying to be a pharmacist and was terrified that a conviction for
a fleeing the scene of an accident might derail her career plans. The lawyer
was determined to get the charges dismissed. After the first attempt to obtain
a civil compromise were unsuccessful, the attorney set the case for trial and
got all charges dismissed, no fines, no fees, no probation, no criminal
record, completely dismissed!
In yet another hit and run case, our lawyer was hired by a individual that was
visiting the area on business. The person had plowed into a wall in the
parking structure at a Long Beach Hotel causing over ten thousand dollars
in damage. The lawyer worked out a civil compromise with the victim and
got all charges dropped in Court, the client who lived in Northern California
never had to travel back to Court.
Most recently, attorney Matthew Ruff obtained a complete dismissal of
felony charges of hit and run by a non-citizen client. He was driving an
employer's vehicle when he collided with another motorist causing the driver
to sustain a broken pelvis. Our client was facing state prison time and
deportation, however, by utilizing specific legal strategies, the lawyer got the
entire case dismissed.
