Domestic violence menacing with a gun dismissed in Brooklyn

2013

Our client was arrested for allegedly threating his ex girlfriend with a gun. Our client worked for an employer who often ran background checks and our client was very nervous about jail but also a conviction which could ruin his career. Our client contacted us to review thedomestic violence menacing charges. We conducted a careful review of the factual allegations by demanding and collecting all police reports, witness statements, 911 calls, and other discovery. The prosecutor disclosed much of this material but we noticed that certain things were missing in the disclosures. In court, we fought the prosecutor on the grounds that they could not bring it to trial without a full and fair disclosure of the evidence. After several months of litigation and fighting for dismissal, we won when the case was dismissed on procedural grounds
