Our client and his wife of a year were under recent financial difficulty and the stress of losing employment as well as our clientâs recent loss of his mother pushed them to have a heated interaction that resulted in our clientâs daughter to call for a âwellnessâ check. Instead of deescalating and providing calmness to the situation, statements were taken by the sheriffâs office that resulted in our client being taken in for the charge of Domestic Violence Battery. Within the 4-5 sentences of the minimal police report there was no indication who the aggressor was in the situation and additionally the alleged victim did not want to press charges. Our firm reached out to the State Attorneyâs Office to address these issues within the case before they decided to press charges against our client and file on the case. The State declined to take up the case and the same day our firm filed our Notice of Appearance the State Attorneyâs office dismissed the case.
