The defendant, a Boston cab driver who relies on his driver’s license to earn a living, received a citation from a State Police Officer for failing to stop at a red light when driving to the airport, hired Attorney Topazio to represent him. The client was stopped when he followed a second cab heading to the taxi pool as he was unfamiliar as to where to go and got confused by the terminals. Attorney Topazio instructed his client to appeal the citation so as to be granted a Magistrate’s hearing. Attorney Topazio argued that his client followed the other cab and failed to stop because he was afraid to get lost. Today, Attorney Topazio, as a result of his experience and understanding of the different ways of resolving traffic violations, was successful in persuading the Clerk Magistrate to find his client not responsible.
