Domestic Violence Assault Case Dismissed in the Interest of Justice
Court: Kings County Criminal Court, Brooklyn, New York
Handled By: Walter Roesch
The Situation: The client faced misdemeanor domestic violence charges carrying potential jail time, probation, and a permanent criminal record, along with a disruptive full order of protection.
The Defense: Defense counsel coordinated a strategic voluntary surrender, secured the client’s release without bail at arraignment, and consistently challenged the prosecution’s readiness. Counsel firmly rejected plea offers that required admissions or compliance conditions, systematically preparing the case for hearings and trial.
Timeline: Resolved in approximately 4 months.
The Victory: The case was fully dismissed in the interest of justice before trial. The client successfully avoided a criminal conviction, probation tracking, and any long-term consequences to their record.
