General Continuance For Non-Citizen Restaurant Owner Charged With Three Counts of Driver’s License Fraud

Our client is a non-citizen restaurant owner in the North Shore. Over the course of twenty plus years he has successfully opened and maintained several high end restaurants. In 2010 he applied for and obtained three separate Massachusetts drivers licenses in three different names. Registry of Motor Vehicles officials detected the fraud and three counts of false application for a license issued against our client. Each count is a felony carrying up to 5 years in state prison. More importantly, if convicted our client faced imminent deportation. The man now has a family and wants to obtain citizenship. Accordingly, he hired Attorney Stephen Neyman to represent him by removing the defaults and defending the charges. Our office successfully did both. All charged under G.L. c. 90 section 24B have been continued generally. They will be dismissed in a few months.
