RESULTS: Successful Expunction of Assault Family Violence Charge
Our client faced significant legal challenges after being arrested for Assault Family Violence, categorized as a Class C Misdemeanor. Understanding the potential impact on our client’s personal and professional life, we embarked on a strategic defense to clear their record.
Strategic Defense Approach
The primary focus of our legal strategy was to leverage the expired statute of limitations and the Criminal Code’s exception, which permits expunctions for Class C Misdemeanors. Through meticulous legal research and detailed preparation, we built a solid case to present at the hearing.
Outcome
We successfully petitioned for the expunction of the offense from our client’s record. This outcome not only removed the legal burden from our client but also provided them with the freedom to move forward without the shadow of a criminal charge on their record.
This favorable resolution underscores our firm’s commitment to thorough research and strategic argumentation, ensuring that our clients receive the best possible defense. We are proud to have achieved a result that upholds justice and restores peace of mind to our client.
