CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: Court dismisses stolen car case for Johnston’s client

Peter L. Johnston, Esquire represented a Philadelphia tow truck driver who responded to a call to tow a vehicle which was inoperable. Unfortunately, the vehicle turned out to be stolen, unbeknownst to his client who had no criminal record and was an honest, law-abiding, hard-working individual.

As a result, the criminal charges against his client were dismissed.
