Following a domestic dispute, our client faced allegations that he body-slammed his live-in girlfriend. The allegations were vigorously contested from the start.
Through thorough witness preparation, independent investigation, and careful development of the timeline of events, we demonstrated that the evidence failed to establish, beyond a reasonable doubt, that our client had committed any act of violence.
After hearing all of the evidence at a bench trial on January 12, 2026, the court found our client Not Guilty on both the domestic violence and assault charges.
“Trial preparation is everything. We invested significant time interviewing witnesses, organizing the evidence, and developing the facts. In the end, the court agreed that the State had not met its burden of proof.” — Emily Smith
