Case Overview:
A Guatemalan immigrant with no license or legal immigration status was stopped by police while he was driving in Norfolk, Massachusetts. The man admitted to the officer that he did not have a license and that the car was not registered. The officer checked his system and confirmed this information. He also learned that the motor vehicle was uninsured. The officer criminally charged the man in Wrentham District Court with Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle, Operating an Uninsured Motor Vehicle, Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle, and Number Plate Violation to Conceal Identification. The man received a summons to appear before the Court for his arraignment. Fearful of jail, deportation, and other legal consequences for his actions, the man quickly hired Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer, John L. Calcagni III, to handle his case.
Case Result:
Dismissed. Attorney John L. Calcagni III did not wait for the arraignment date to begin working for this client. Instead, he and his team contacted the District Attorney’s Office right away and were truthful with the man’s situation. The man’s wife, who was a lawful resident, had since registered and insured the vehicle following the man’s arrest. Given this progress, the man’s immigration problems, and solid work history, Attorney John L. Calcagni III and his team persuaded prosecutors to dismiss this case prior to arraignment, preserving the man’s clean criminal record and maximizing his candidacy for U.S. Citizenship in the future.
