Case Success Story: Acquittal in a Complex Traffic Accident Case

In September 2023, Kitay Law Offices secured a significant victory for our client in Lehigh County. A jury returned a verdict acquitting him of all felony charges related to a severe traffic accident. This outcome underscores our commitment to delivering steadfast legal representation and highlights the importance of thorough case analysis and expert testimony.

The Case Overview

The case stemmed from a traffic accident that resulted in our client facing serious felony charges, including Aggravated Assault by Vehicle and Aggravated Assault by Vehicle while DUI. Our client acknowledged responsibility for his actions that night, but we believed the prosecution had overcharged him, overlooking critical intervening factors that contributed to the incident.

To present a comprehensive view of the events, Kitay Law Offices enlisted the expertise of Robert Lynch, P.E., from DJS Associates [1]. His detailed recreation of the incident provided crucial insights that countered the Commonwealth’s version presented by their police expert.

The Defense Strategy

Attorney David Ritter, Criminal Trial Lawyer at Kitay Law Offices, meticulously argued the case before the jury. The defense hinged on demonstrating that the prosecution’s narrative neglected vital factors that influenced the tragic outcome. With the support of Mr. Lynch’s expert testimony, we were able to paint a more accurate picture of the events, convincing the jury that the felony charges were unjustified.

The Verdict

The jury’s verdict was a testament to the strength of our legal strategy. They found our client “Not Guilty” of Aggravated Assault by Vehicle while DUI and “Not Guilty” of Aggravated Assault by Vehicle. The jury held our client accountable for his actions with guilty verdicts on lesser misdemeanor charges, reflecting a balanced view of justice.

Client Benefits

This favorable outcome spared our client from the severe penalties associated with felony convictions. By avoiding these charges, our client’s future prospects, both personal and professional, remain intact. This case demonstrates how crucial it is to challenge overcharging to ensure fair treatment under the law.
