My client was charged with felony assault with a firearm. She was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of one of the other parties and was a passenger when he took a gun to a fight. The DA wanted my client to spend almost three years in prison. I investigated the case fully, gathered positive information about my client, and negotiated intensely with the DA. After reviewing everything I provided, the DA agreed to accept a misdemeanor plea from my client and to allow her to serve her time in a residential treatment program, instead of in custody.
