I was being investigated for hit and run under Vehicle Code 20002(a) as a Misdemeanor. A person claimed that I had struck their vehicle and left without stopping; the person also claimed I had used racist epithets in their direction. I denied all of these allegations. Nonetheless, the individual had my plate number and picked me out of a photographic line up. I received notice from the police they were investigating me and I contacted Attorney Will Bruzzo because I could tell from his on-line reviews he was very experienced in these matters. Mr. Bruzzo told me I was smart NOT to speak to the police and to call him first. Mr. Bruzzo told me that I could hire him to try and resolve the case Pre-filing. Meaning, Mr. Bruzzo would try and resolve the case with the police before the case is sent to the District Attorney’s office and made into a formal charge in the court. Mr. Bruzzo also told me about Civil Compromise which is a way to handle criminal cases involving property loss or damage where the police can forego charging the person if the person pays the victim for his damages and the victim agrees not to prosecute. After I hired Mr. Bruzzo he spoke with the police who in turn spoke with the victim. The victim then spoke to Mr. Bruzzo and agreed to accept an amount of money to pay for their damages with the agreement that they recommend against prosecution. After the formal agreement was signed and the money paid, the police officer closed the case and the matter was NEVER SENT TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE. I have no arrest, no charge and no conviction. I am very happy with this result and although I dispute entirely the allegations against me, the result Mr. Bruzzo got me, spared me a lot of time, money and embarrassment and I am thankful to him. I would recommend him for any hit and run, vehicle code section 20002(a) matter. Dated: 3/14/18
