Charges: Two Counts of Aggravated Domestic Assault
County: Davidson
Result: Dismissal of all charges
“Criminal Defense Attorney” means different things at different times in different cases. We are litigators, but we are also advocates, negotiators, and problem solvers. The secret sauce is knowing when to wear the right hat and wearing it well. In this case, we best served our client by facilitating communication because that’s where the system was failing. The alleged victim didn’t feel heard by anyone, including police and prosecutors, so we listened. We helped her understand the system that she was now caught up in, answered her questions, and gave her information on who she should talk to at the District Attorney’s Office to communicate her wishes in this case. Ultimately, facilitating this communication helped our client get the right result and get that result much faster and without any risk. The charges were dismissed with a bare minimum of stress and hassle for everyone involved, and our client can put all of this in the past.
