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.
