Domestic violence assault on video dismissed in Manhattan

2020

Lance’s client allegedly assaulted a coworker and former intimate partner. The assault happened outside and was captured by a security camera. Client admitted to being in the footage and, therefore, that client had assaulted the complainant. Lance fought this on the grounds that there was insufficient proof of injury and he raised issues about the discovery that had been turned over by the prosecutor. Due to certain legal issues, Lance was able to negotiate an outcome where the case would be completely dismissed as long as a 12 month order of protection was obeyed.
