People v. D.J. (West Seneca Tn. Ct., Erie Cty., 2016)

Mr. Corletta, through prompt contact with an out-of-county Prosecutor, saved his client 8 points on their license in People v. D.J. (West Seneca Tn. Ct., Erie Cty., 2016) In that case, the client received 2 separate Speeding tickets on different dates in the same jurisdiction, undoubtedly due to the type of car the client was driving. Mr. Corletta contacted the Prosecutor, pointed this out, and received reductions to 2 separate parking violations carrying no points; thereby saving the client's license from suspension. The client, who travels for purposes of employment, was extremely grateful.

J.E. v. D.E. (Livingston Cty. Sup. Ct., 8/31/16)

Mr. Corletta’s prompt aggressive action protected a client’s retirement plan in J.E. v. D.E. (Livingston Cty. Sup. Ct., 8/31/16). In that case, Mr. Corletta demonstrated his knowledge of complicated Pension Law by examining a Divorce Agreement, and then examining his client’s ex-spouse’s attempt to obtain retirement benefits through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order that the ex-spouse was not entitled to under the Agreement.

          Mr. Corletta brought prompt corrective action by Order To Show Cause, with the result being that the offending Qualified Domestic Relations Order, which divided the client's 401(k) plan, was vacated. The ex-spouse’s former attorney had improperly drafted and submitted a Qualified Domestic Relations Order giving the ex-spouse a portion of the client’s retirement plan the ex-spouse was not entitled to. The client was not represented by counsel at the time.

          As a result, the Order was vacated, and the client's full 401(k) plan restored. The client’s ex-spouse was force to admit the error. Obviously, this was a substantial financial victory for the client, and kept the client from being taken advantage of by the ex-spouse and their attorneys.
