Domestic assault charges dismissed in Manhattan
2020
Lance’s client was
arrested for
assaulting his girlfriend inside a Manhattan apartment. Client held a professional
license and any conviction would have to be required during renewal which
could have lead to permanent loss of the license. During our defense,
we investigated and raised questions about the
complainant’s mental state and how it could have logically affected her ability
to truthfully and accurately communicate with the police and
District Attorney. After making this point to the prosecutor, we joined in a motion to dismiss
our client’s case and have the record sealed.
