Prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions against area residents charged with hit-and-run. They disregard the events leading up to and following the accident. Our job is to bring out all the facts of a hit-and-run accusation. Far too much is at stake to plea bargain or retain a lesser-experienced attorney quick to make a deal.
At the law office of James S. Sweeney, we first put you at ease by educating you on your options. Things are not as bad as they may seem. We help tell your story to a judge and jury and fight for the best outcome.
If you have been charged with misdemeanor or felony hit and run, contact us at 949-273-2676 or toll free at 877-648-3603.

Orange County Hit and Run Car Accident Lawyer
In California, if an accident involves property damage or injury, you must stop, identify yourself and exchange information. If you fail to do so, you could be charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run for property damage or felony hit-and-run for injury to another person.
You may have had a reason not to stop or stay at the scene of the accident. Perhaps you could not pull over safely. The accident victim may be threatening you or experiencing road rage. Calling 911 immediately can go a long way to show that you intended to take responsibility. Restitution for property damage can also resolve your case and achieve a better disposition.
