Felony driving while suspended

Consultation with a client who was charged with Felony driving while suspended. The potential client had a public defender who he was dissatisfied with. The PD was encouraging him to take the District Attorney's offer by pleading guilty and he would only do 11 months in jail. During the initial conversation I reviewed the client's criminal history and the relevant statutes. It turned out that the client was not guilty of Felony or Misdemeanor driving while suspended as a matter of law and I explained this to the client. Additionally, the client had already been wrongfully convicted of Felony driving while suspended in another county and had already done 90 days in jail for that conviction. That meant in total, 2 District Attorneys and 2 Public Defenders had missed the fact that the client was innocent in 2 separate cases. I explained that he was entitled to post-conviction relief for the prior conviction. Long story short, the client hired me and I got the charge dismissed in a matter of hours.
