Our client was arrested for battery and faced the possibility of probation or up to a year in jail. The charges arose from an altercation with a family member during a vacation in Sarasota, FL, while the client resided out of state.
Within weeks, we successfully had the charges dropped due to a lack of evidence and by presenting a self-defense argument. As a result, the client avoided the time and expense of traveling for court appearances and was spared any sanctions for what was ultimately a misunderstanding. He is now eligible to have the arrest expunged.
