Our client and his wife of a year were under recent financial difficulty and the stress of losing employment as well as our client’s recent loss of his mother pushed them to have a heated interaction that resulted in our client’s daughter to call for a ‘wellness’ check. Instead of deescalating and providing calmness to the situation, statements were taken by the sheriff’s 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 Attorney’s 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 Attorney’s office dismissed the case.
