Government jobs involving classified information require a security clearance, which involves a thorough background check and remaining out of legal trouble. One speeding ticket can create problems for government employees, especially if they forget to give the court a response. 

Our client, a government worker with a spotless driving record, was in this situation when he forgot to pay a speeding ticket and the court issued a warrant for his arrest. If our client had been arrested, he could have lost his security clearance and his job.

Time was of the essence in this case. Fortunately, our Criminal Defense Team was able to quash the warrant, ensuring our client’s career remained secure.
