Domestic Violence Charges Reduced to Misdemeanor with Time Served

People v. J.A.

My client was charged with numerous charges of Domestic Violence including Corporal Injury on a Spouse, Assault with a Deadly Weapon a Knife, Criminal Threat. Alleged victim claims my client threatened to kill her, had a knife, and was punching her and kicking her for a long time. Offer from D.A. was 7 years state prison and my client was facing 14 years at trial. Offer was 7 years state prison. My client had immigration issues. After litigating this case for over 2 years the D.A. agreed to allow my client to plead to a Public Nuisance Charge which allowed my client to be ok for immigration purposes and no jail time with no drug conviction.

‍Legal Strategy‍

I worked out a deal after the trial, negotiating a significantly reduced resolution from the prosecution’s seven-year offer.

‍Resolution

‍My client was Not Guilty on all counts except was convicted of a lesser charge of assault as a misdemeanor. Credit for time served and my client went home to his family. The Law Office of Gregory H.
