Mike Brandt’s client was charged with Speed in the City of Golden Valley from November 2016. The case was not very promising, because Mike’s young client was travelling over 20 MPH above the limit in a residential area. This is not the type of case that a prosecutor would normally agree to negotiate to keep off a driving record. However, in this case Mike had his client take some affirmative steps, such as attending a safe driving class, and provided that to the prosecutor along with information about his client’s lack of a prior record.
While the prosecutor was very reluctant to negotiate a resolution to keep this off the client’s record, is the upon of all the information Mike had provided, the prosecutor was willing to take a chance on Mike’s client and the prosecutor agreed to continue the matter for one year, at which time the charge will be dismissed as long as Mike’s client paid some costs of prosecution and has no new moving violations in that year.
