Commonwealth v. Jane Doe
LARCENY CHARGE AGAINST AIR FORCE ACADEMY PREP SCHOOL CADET DISMISSED AT CLERK’S HEARING.
The client was a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado. She graduated from high school in Massachusetts as an exemplary student and athlete. Due to her hard-work, strong work ethic, and impressive background, she was accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy Prep School. Upon her graduation, she will apply to the United States Air Force Academy with aspirations of serving a career in the United States Air Force. She was alleged to have shoplifted items from a department store, and the police department filed an application for criminal complaint against her for larceny under G.L. c. 266, §30.
Result: Attorney Gerald J. Noonan persuades the Clerk-Magistrate to dismiss the criminal complaint for larceny, which was a huge win for this client, as a criminal record would virtually destroy her dreams of serving in the United States Air Force. The client will have no criminal record as a result of this incident.

Motorcycle Accident at Intersection
On May 13, 2012, Client was traveling on his motorcycle and proceeded through a green light when he was cut-off and struck by a vehicle attempting to make a left-hand turn into a shopping plaza.

Noonan obtained a witness statement from an independent witness to the crash refuting the insurance company’s denial of liability. In addition, Attorney Patrick visited the scene of the accident and timed the timing of the traffic lights at the intersection to prove that Mr. Warrell had a green light, and that their insured failed to yield the right-of-way to his client.
