Domestic Violence Charges Dismissed on November 29, 2017

In October 2017, we were retained to assist Kristen on a domestic violence charge that was filed in 2015. Once we discussed the case with the client, we determined that there were two issues that were pressing. First, she appeared to be innocent to the charges. The prosecutor in this case filed charges against her when the charges had no merit. Second, the incident occurred in 2015 and she didn’t know about the charges until 2017 when she went to do a background interview and it came up that she had an outstanding warrant.

We appeared in court and tried talking to the prosecutor informally about dropping the charges as she was innocent. Unfortunately, this prosecutor didn’t see the case the same way we did. Therefore, after our initial attempt to resolve it informally didn’t work, we filed a MOTION TO DISMISS THE CASE (CLICK HERE FOR A COPY OF THE MOTION TO DISMISS). The motion was filed on 11/7/18. CLICK HERE TO SEE A COPY OF THE 11/7/17 HEARING RESULTS).

On 11/29/2017, our motion to dismiss was heard. The prosecutor in the case agreed to dismiss the case against Kristen on that date. CLICK HERE FOR THE DISMISSAL ON 11/29/17.
