Our client, a devoted father with shared custody, faced serious allegations of injury to a child following an incident during a visitation period.
The accusation stemmed from disciplinary action taken by our client, which involved spanking his child.
These charges were further complicated by the contentious relationship between our client and his ex-wife.
Our Strategy
Active Early Involvement: We swiftly engaged in the case, ensuring our client was protected from any police interrogation that could jeopardize his legal standing.
Strategic Prosecutor Negotiations: Our legal team met with the prosecutor at the intake stage. We presented a comprehensive view of the situation, emphasizing the context of parental discipline, highlighting the ex-wife’s potential motives, and advocating for the appropriateness of the discipline within the bounds of parental rights.
Outcome
The diligent efforts of our team led to the case being presented to a grand jury, where it was “no billed.” This outcome means the grand jury decided not to file charges, resulting in a dismissal of this spanking allegation case. Our client was thus able to continue his role as a father without the burden of criminal charges.
This case exemplifies our commitment to safeguarding the rights of our clients, particularly in complex family dynamics.
Our proactive approach and strategic legal intervention were instrumental in achieving a favorable resolution for our client.
