My client was charged with assault with force likely to create great bodily injury, a felony that carries the possibility state prison time. I thoroughly reviewed the police reports and was able to show the District Attorney that they would have trouble proving that charge. I collected positive information about my client and investigated whether the alleged victim wanted to prosecute. Based on everything I presented to the District Attorney, they agreed to resolve the case for a misdemeanor Disturbing the Peace charge, 15 days on alternative sentencing, and one year of probation. This resolution protected my client’s gun rights as well as avoiding jail time.
