You should immediately retain the services of an attorney. Your attorney can negotiate with the prosecutor in an attempt to have your charge either dismissed or reduced to an offense that will protect your driving privileges. Although you returned to the scene, the crime of leaving the scene of the accident has already been committed.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
