Domestic Violence Case Results

Not Guilty

  • Accusation: Common Law Robbery, Communicating Threats, and Assault on a Female (N.C.G.S. 14-87.1; N.C.G.S. 14-33)
  • Facing: 13-25 Months (on Robbery charge) plus 60 days (for Assault on a Female charge)
  • Result: Not Guilty
  • State v. M.K.: Our client was accused of running his girlfriend’s car off the road, smashing out her window, and taking property from her car. After pointing out serious flaws in the State’s case, the prosecution decided to dismiss the felony common law robbery and communicating threats charges, and we proceeded to trial on the only remaining charge – Assault on a Female. At trial, our client was found
    not guilty after we successfully argued that his actions did not meet the legal definition of Assault.

Charges Dismissed & Career Saved

  • Facing: 60 days in jail and entry of 50B civil restraining order
  • Result: All charges dismissed after entry of consent judgment regarding child custody
  • State v. J.S.: Our client, who was employed as a Corrections Officer with his entire career on the line, was falsely accused by his ex-wife of Assault, resulting in both criminal charges and a civil suit for a 50B Domestic Violence Protective Order. After pointing out major discrepancies in the plaintiff’s story, we were able to successfully negotiate the dismissal of the criminal charges with the District Attorney and the 50B with the Plaintiff’s attorney. Additionally, we were able to craft a civil no-contact order and temporary child custody order to resolve the couple’s ongoing child custody dispute, saving our client’s career as a Corrections Officer.
