Domestic Assault and prior arrest resolved with a non-criminal violation
(Manhattan)
2013
Client
arrested for the second time for
assaulting wife. In this case, possible felony charges loomed because it was claimed
that our client engaged in choking, punching, shoving, and other violent
behavior. Our client had a professional license which could have been
lost if there was a conviction. Our client
contacted us to see what could be done to work the case out in such a way as there
would be no impact on the professional license. We successfully got the
first case resolved with a violation and weren't sure if this could
be done again. Case successfully resolved again with a non-criminal violation, no
jail but some counseling.
