Cases Category: Domestic Violence

State v. JF

Charge

DV Assault, Criminal Threatening with a Deadly Weapon, Reckless Conduct with a Firearm

Result

A former US Special Forces member faced a tumultuous legal battle after a confrontation with his fiance turned violent. Accused of multiple felonies involving a firearm and domestic violence misdemeanors, the client faced a challenging situation. The defense team strategically gathered evidence, including plot surveys and extensive photographs, to challenge witness perceptions and create doubt. Despite an attractive plea offer, the client chose to go to trial, banking on a self-defense theory. After a 3-day trial and over 2 days of deliberation, the jury returned NOT GUILTY verdicts on all charges except one misdemeanor. Although it appeared to be a compromise verdict, the client found satisfaction in being acquitted of the most severe charges.

STATE v. L.H.

Charge

Domestic Violence Assault; Domestic Violence Criminal Threatening

Result

The client was placed on deferred disposition for a period of 6 months and the case was later dismissed.  I actually strongly encouraged the client to go to trial as I thought we would win in front of the jury but the client did what she thought was in her best interests.  In the end, it all worked out as the charges were dismissed.

STATE v. C.F.

Charge

Burglary, Aggravated Criminal Trespass, Criminal Trespass, Tampering with a Witness, Obstructing Report of a Crime, Domestic Violence Assault, Violating Conditions of Release x2

Result

The victim in this case gave a few different versions of her story on different occasions.  She also recanted her story and thus was considered a wild card by both the prosecution and defense.  It was also obvious to us that my client could be convicted of at least the criminal mischief charge due to the damage to the door and frame.  Ultimately, all felonies were dismissed in return for a plea of guilty to a single count of Violating Conditions of Release, Obstructing Report of a Crime and Domestic Violence Assault.  While these were serious charges that carried potential jail and probation time, they were misdemeanors and the goal in this case was to avoid a conviction on any of the felonies.  That goal was achieved.

STATE v. N.J.

Charge

Domestic Violence Assault

Result

DA initially sought a jail sentence of 364 days with all but 10 days suspended, completion of certified batterers intervention program and 2 years probation.  I informed the DA that based on my client’s injuries (the photos of his back were horrific as he looked like he was mauled by a wildcat), the only resolution besides a dismissal of the charges that we were willing to accept would be a no-cost filing.  We came to court prepared to try the case and were pleasantly surprised when the DA agreed to file the case at no cost to my client.  Client’s bail was released and case was subsequently dismissed.

STATE v. S.R.

Charge

Domestic Violence Assault

Result

Our client, a licensed health-care practitioner, could not afford ANY conviction.  The collateral consequences of the charged crime included her inability to get employment in her chosen field.  We had to secure a dismissal.  We hired a private investigator, interviewed the parties and other witnesses, and showed the prosecutor that the husband initiated the attack.  Our client merely shoved him away to escape further injury.  In this he-said/she-said environment, we were forced to get convincing witness testimony.  Eventually, the prosecutor dismissed the charge and our client was free of her nightmare.  She can now continue to work in her healthcare field.

Bail Argument Victory

Charge

Bail Argument Victory

Result

My client was charged with felony bail violation where the underlying crimes for which he was originally bailed on included Burglary, Aggravated Criminal Trespass, Domestic Violence and Witness Tampering.  The state asked for $10,000.00 bail, which I argued was an outrageous request that was unsupported by the circumstances of the crime or the client’s criminal history. After a lengthy bail argument, the court agreed with my analysis of the State’s case and set bail in the amount of $500.00.  My client was grateful.
