Case dismissed Sexual Assault of Child

Hayes County

Case dismissed Assault Family Violence Causing Bodily Injury

At first, the prosecutor did not want to dismiss this because our client already had a prior Assault Family Violence case dismissed in the past. We held our ground and argued for a dismissal based on self-defense. Further, the victim did not want this prosecuted and we submitted an affidavit of non-prosecution. Based on our review of the evidence and possible hearsay exceptions, we knew the State could not prove their case. This client drove into town for each court setting, so we were cognizant of trying to get this resolved quickly. They only had to come to court twice before leaving with a dismissal in hand.

Charges rejected Sexual assault investigation

Our client hired us when officers asked him to come in for questioning. We became his voice for law enforcement questioning and were able to explain to officers that the victim's account was not plausible. The officer and ADA declined the charges and no charges were ever filed against our client.

Case Rejected Criminal School Disciplinary case

We recently represented a juvenile client. He was accused of committing a crime at school. As we usually do, we represented him during the associated school removal hearing to make sure no evidence could be gained that would be used against them in the criminal process. We worked closely with the prosecutor to get the case rejected. We understand the importance of keeping juvenile clients record clean and doing everything possible to divert them from the criminal justice system
