Theft of services (Taxi) case dismissed in Brooklyn
2020
Lance’s client was
arrested after a cab driver complained to the police that our client failed to
pay at the end of a trip. The cab driver claimed that our client pretended
to dispute the final drop off location but that it was the proper location
based on what the client had originally requested. The police
arrested our client and released our client with a desk appearance ticket. Our client
contacted us for help. When our client came to see us, we discussed defenses contained in the
penal law that our client was not aware of. We worked out a plan to defend
the charges and after the criminal court arraignment, we successfully
settled the case with the Kings County District Attorney so that our client’s
case would be dismissed as long as our client stayed arrest-free for six months.
