Nathan Hitchcock Case Results: State v. R.H.
R.H. was charged with operating under the influence with a breath level of .17, Driving to Endanger, Criminal Mischief and Leaving the Scene of an Accident as they were accused of driving erratically while striking cars and other objects in their path. The client faced up to 364 days in jail with a mandatory minimum of 2 days of jail, a $2,000.00 fine, and several consecutive license suspensions. Through detailed conversations with his client, Attorney Hitchcock learned of several medical issues impacting his client that would make her impairment unforeseeable until it was too late.
Conclusion
Through rigorous advocacy, Attorney Hitchcock negotiated an outcome where the case would be deferred for a year and a half, and as long as his client followed the rules of the deferred disposition, three of the four charges would be dismissed, and his client would only face a conviction for Driving to Endanger, which included a fine and 30-day license suspension.
