Naomi Shatz prevents criminal charge from issuing on appeal of magistrate decision

In December 2013 Naomi Shatz prevented a criminal charge of leaving the scene after committing property damage from issuing against her client. Ms. Shatz had previously prevented the charge from issuing at a magistrate’s hearing; the Commonwealth appealed the magistrate’s decision denying its application for a criminal complaint and the case was heard by a district court judge, who agreed with the magistrate and our client that no charge should issue.
