Date: June 2021
Case: Domestic Assault
Attorney: Michael J. Brandt
Result: During an argument with her daughter, Mike’s client slapped her daughter’s face, leaving a bruise. CPS began an investigation, and she was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault. With the client’s proactive steps of attending therapy and gathering letters of recommendation, Mike was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to amend the charge to disorderly conduct and the client received a stay of adjudication for 1 year. This resolution allowed Mike’s client to move forward from her mistake and heal with her family while minimizing the impact that a charge for domestic assault could have on her life.
