Charge: Leaving the Scene of an Accident
Traffic
Our client, a mother with no criminal history was charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident in Alachua County.

The neighbor called the police and reported the damage and stated no note was left. The neighbor told police it was our client that damaged her fence even though she did not witness the accident. She stated she knew it was our client because a piece of our client's vehicle was left at the scene, and this piece of vehicle identified the make of the car. After being retained by client and reviewing the evidence in this case, it was clear that no identifying piece of the car was left on scene. It became clear that the neighbor knew which car had damaged the fence because in fact a note was left.
