All domestic violence charges against a celebrity client of ours dismissed in Queens
2014
Lance’s client, a celebrity musician, was
arrested for harassing his ex wife by threatening to harm her. He was charged with
harassment, a misdemeanor carrying up to a year in jail. Our client had an old criminal
history and this was significant because having priors can make the prosecutor
more interested a harsh sentence. After several months of litigation,
we were able to convince the prosecutor to drop the most serious charges
that would have given our client a permanent criminal record. We successfully
resolved the case with no criminal record, a small fine, and some
community service.
