Road to Dismissals: Domestic Violence Charges Dropped
We at Sean Logue Law recently celebrated a significant victory for a Philadelphia-based client. Mr. Waltz, a stock-market broker, was convicted of serious domestic violence charges. This situation caused immense stress and was a real threat to his future.
But thankfully, due to the diligence of our expert Pittsburgh criminal lawyers, we were able to dismiss all the charges and put a smile on his face! This successful venture once again highlighted how an experienced legal representative can completely turn over the results of a case!
Let’s take a closer look and understand how we happen to be your all-in-one solution to legal matters and domestic violence suits.
Consequences of Domestic Violence Charges
In the case of Mr. Waltz, the consequences escalated a little too quickly. Here are the things that we found out when we took the case over-
He was issued with legal restrictions
A Protection From Abuse (PFA) order was issued against Mr. Waltz. He was forced to stay away from his own home and was prohibited from speaking or establishing contact with his children.
His reputation was getting tarnished
Mr. Waltz was known as the ‘polite money-man’ in his neighborhood. The domestic violence accusation started to tarnish his good name. Everyone started to think and look at him differently. And this is what affected Mr. Waltz the most! This was also one of the primary reasons why he called up a Pittsburgh criminal lawyer.
He was on the verge of getting a criminal record
For a 40-year-old man with one of the cleanest records as a civilian, Mr. Waltz’s name was going to get etched with a permanent criminal record. It would have affected him even more! Hence, he thought of seeking the leverage of an expert lawyer to prove his innocence.
How Did Our Lawyers Help?
After a long discussion with Mr. Waltz, we decided to take his case up and protect his reputation at all costs. So, here are the steps that we took in the process-
We investigated the case thoroughly
Our team is meticulous when it comes to evidence examination. So, we decided to go through every police record and did all background checks. This helped us dig out intricate details about this case. This is where we came to realize that Mr. Waltz was innocent!
We challenged the evidence
After thorough scrutiny, we found some major issues with certain statements of Mrs. Waltz! And this was the weak point that our skilled Pittsburgh criminal lawyers got hold of, which resulted in a breakthrough!
We negotiated a dismissal with the prosecutor
Since this case was based on the statement of Mrs. Waltz, and we found disparities in her statement, we didn’t go for a charge reduction. Instead, we went for a complete dismissal, which we achieved in the end!
