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.
