Kelly Keegan Obtains Dismissal of Moving Violations, Drug Paraphernalia Charges; Restores Client’s Driver’s License

Kelly’s client retained her after being charged in Sherburne County with Driving after Revocation and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Her client was extremely concerned about immigration consequences of a drug-related offense after working for years to become a citizen. Upon review of her client’s record, it became clear he was also stuck in a vicious cycle of repeat license suspensions due to repeated driving after revocation violations, while at the same time needing to drive to get to work and support his family. Kelly was able to put together a detailed plan for her client to get his driver's license reinstated, and then was able to negotiate the dismissal of pending charges in Kanabec County so no new suspensions or revocations would be added. In Sherburne County, she was able to get the Drug Paraphernalia charge dismissed in exchange for a petty misdemeanor offense that would not be recorded on her client's driving record. The result was that her client was finally eligible to obtain a license after many years of ineligibility, and the cycle of racking up new charges related to driving without a valid license was finally stopped.
