Leaving the Scene of an Accident Testimonial for Criminal Defense Attorney John Calcagni

Testimonial from Female Motorist:

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for having John as my attorney. When I was involved in a single vehicle car accident, the police officer said I may be criminally charged. John told me right away what the possible charges might be and how he could prepare my defense. I was very comfortable with him and knew I could trust him at all times.

Within a few days of the accident, I was criminally charged with Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of the Accident and Speeding. I had never been to Court before or charged with a crime so I didn’t know what to expect. My nerves and anxieties were at an all time high.

John met with me again before Court to explain the charges, their meaning and all the possible scenarios for their resolution. He said there was a 50/50 chance we would prevail at the Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing, and that if we lost, we may have to go to trial.

At the Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing, I was so impressed with John and especially by how well he knew the facts of my case and the arguments he presented in my defense. I believe his knowledge of the law and trial experience helped the Clerk’s-Magistrate make the decision to drop the criminal charges against me.

Thank you so much!! – Young girl motorist.

Testimonial for Criminal Defense Attorney John Calcagni

Testimonial from Parent of Female Motorist:

After my 21-year-old daughter was involved in her first motor vehicle accident, she was charged with Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of an Accident and Speeding. I immediately called John for his help. We met the next day in his office where he explained everything that could possibly happen to my daughter as a result of these charges. He explained things in terms that we both understood. We both felt very comfortable with him. He kept us up-to-date on what he was doing to prepare her defense and case for the Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing.

On the day of the hearing, my daughter was extremely nervous. John helped her to relax by telling her step-by-step what was going to happen. He also said we would probably not have a resolution that day, and there was a possibility that we would need to go to trial.

During the hearing, he was well prepared and very thorough. He knew the facts of the case inside and out. He then made a great argument to the Clerk-Magistrate resulting in a resolution of the case that day, which including dismissing the criminal charges.

Thank you! – Mother of young girl motorist.

Leaving the Scene of an Accident: Dismissed.  State Police charged a motorist with Leaving the Scene of an Accident.  Police received a report that two motor vehicles collided while traveling on the highway, Interstate 95.  Motorist A claimed that Motorist B struck his car while changing lanes.  Motorist A further alleged that Motorist B did not bring his vehicle to a stop after the accident, but continued to drive off as if the accident never occurred.  Motorist A contacted the State Police from his cellphone moments after the incident while traveling on the highway.  He relayed to police what he alleged had occurred and that he was in pursuit of Motorist B.  Motorist A followed Motorist B for several miles to his place of employment where Motorist B parked his vehicle and went inside.  Police responded to the scene and met with Motorist A who identified Motorist B’s car.  Police then went inside the business where Motorist B worked, arrested him in front of his co-workers and employer, towed his car, and charged him with Leaving the Scene of an Accident.  Motorist B hired Attorney Calcagni to represent him against this criminal charge.  After conducting an independent, aggressive investigation, Attorney Calcagni discovered that the alleged collision resulted in no property damage or personal injury to anyone.  The alleged incident was also not witnessed by any independent third party witnesses.  Lastly, Attorney Calcagni learned from his client’s automobile insurance carrier that Motorist A was uncooperative with the claims process; sold the vehicle he alleged was struck by Motorist B; and that the carrier was denying Motorist A’s insurance claim.  Based upon these collective factors, Attorney Calcagni successfully negotiated for dismissal of the charge against his client, Motorist B, on the morning of trial.
