The defendant, a Boston Cab Driver and father of two, was given a civil motor vehicle citation for making an illegal U-turn where it was posted no U-Turn. The defendant initially represented himself at a Magistrate Hearing but was found responsible and appealed to a full hearing in front of a Judge. After appealing, the client hired Boston Criminal Defense Lawyer Steven J. Topazio to argue his case. Today Attorney Topazio conducted a full hearing with the citing officer and established that despite the posted no U-Turn sign, his client was cited for violating a general safety statute but in fact exercised extreme caution and safety in executing the U-turn; turning the cab around at a location where the double yellow line on the roadway was broken and further did not interfere with the movement of traffic. Attorney Topazio convinced the Judge to find his client not responsible.
