Probation no Conviction

RESULTS: Successfully Negotiated with State to Reduce Prison Offer to Probation without Conviction

The client was charged with two separate incidents of threatening to kill a police officer and assaulting and choking his girlfriend.

After negotiations with the district attorney’s office, Jacob Blizzard was able to secure concurrent deferred adjudication probations where our client would attend drug/alcohol rehab and complete a batterers intervention program as conditions of probation.

Criminal defense attorney Jacob Blizzard recognized the offenses stemmed from long-term substance and alcohol abuse coupled with unresolved depression issues.

Mr. Blizzard worked with the client to set him on the right path for success and convinced the prosecutor that:

  • Despite the severity of the offenses,
  • And some significant criminal history,
  • The client’s lack of a prior felony charge,
  • The role that drugs and alcohol played in the offenses
  • The young age of the client,
  • And steps taken to get the client on the right path for success…

that client deserved a shot at completing probation to have a life without a felony conviction.
