Domestic violence assault with broken bones and surgery resolved with no
jail (Manhattan Supreme Court)
2019
Our client, a licensed professional, was
arrested and charged with
assault for punching the
complainant in the face several times, causing bleeding and broken bones. It was witnessed
by another person who later spoke to the police about what happened. Case
indicted meaning that the District Attorney brought the charges to a grand
jury in order to elevate the case to Supreme Court. Although the prosecutor
was pushing for a
jail sentence, we carefully prepared a convincing mitigation package that resulted
in a deal to a misdemeanor and no
jail.
