The client, a 26 year old Boston College Graduate School student, with a New York driver’s license, received a traffic ticket in Boston indicating that the police were applying for a criminal complaint against him for operating after suspension in Massachusetts, hired Boston Traffic Ticket Attorney Steven J. Topazio to represent him. Attorney Topazio instructed his client to request a Magistrate Hearing, by checking the box on the back of the ticket and to deliver the ticket to the court within four days of receipt of the ticket. Attorney Topazio obtained documentation that his client’s New York driver’s license was active, but that his right to operate a motor vehicle in Massachusetts was suspended due to a previously unpaid Massachusetts traffic ticket. Today, Attorney Topazio presented evidence that the Notice to suspend his client’s right to operate in Massachusetts went to an old address and that his client never got notice of the intended actions from the Massachusetts RMV. After presenting documentation that his client was back in full compliance with the law, and that all fines and fees were paid, Attorney Topazio was able to persuade the Magistrate to dismiss all charges.
