2011: Client Initially Charged as Felony Habitual Traffic Offender Gets Charged Reduced to a Misdemeanor and Reinstates his License.

This case took a lot of work on my part. My client was initially arrested by the Melbourne Police Department and charged with felony Driving While License Suspended as a Habitual Traffic Offender (“HTO”). The statute states that anyone who is convicted three times in a five year period of either Driving Under the Influence or Driving While License Suspended With Knowledge loses their license for five years. One of the strikes my client received under the statute was for an uncounseled plea to Driving While License Suspended Without Knowledge, which no longer even counts as a strike under the HTO statute.

Once his license was reinstated, the prosecutor amended the felony charge to a misdemeanor and he entered a plea to No Valid Driver License, which does not count as a strike under the HTO statute.
