Restitution Hearing Success
Downey - DUI Restitution Hearing Success
Client involved in felony DUI with injury. Victims settled with insurance
and then wanted an additional $22,000.00 from my client in restitution.
Settlement resolved for $7,000.00 saving my client $15,000.00. Oddly enough
victims are allowed to settle their cases with insurance and then go after
people in criminal courts for legitimate losses. The rationale is that
the courts are not going to force victims to wait to get money from insurance
if they need it.
