Licensed professional charged with felony domestic violence assault has case dismissed in Manhattan

2013

Lance’s client was arrested for assaulting a domestic partner. Our client’s situation as made complicated due to a professional license that our client had and this wasn’t our client’s first arrest. Our investigation revealed that the complainant was stealing from our client and the assault allegations were very suspicious and not well supported by the facts. Initially, our client indicated that taking a misdemeanor conviction would be acceptable but we noticed that under the circumstances, getting the case dismissed was the right way to go. After fighting in court for about six months, the case was dismissed, record sealed.
